2012 Map of La Place

About this map

LaPlace and Lake City anchor this agricultural landscape in Moultrie County during the early 21st century. The map reveals a highly structured grid of section roads, such as E 500 N RD and N 400 E RD, which manage the fertile prairie between the West Okaw River and Stringtown Br. This environment is characterized by its drainage infrastructure, including Ditch Number 3 and the Hammond Mutual Ditch, highlighting the region's managed hydrology for farming. Smaller settlements like Lintner and Burrowsville appear as localized clusters within the sprawling fields. Local history and genealogy are preserved at the LaPlace Cem and Turner Cem. The presence of private aviation hubs like White Landing Strip, Henry Airport, and Dawson Farms Airport indicates a unique pattern of rural transport and land use in this part of Illinois.
