1913 Map of La Salle

USGS Topo · Published 1940

About this map

The industrial and transport hub of La Salle and Peru is the centerpiece of this study, where the Illinois River corridor meets a dense network of early 20th-century railroads. The map records a landscape transitioning between heavy industry and rural education, evidenced by the proximity of St Bedes College to numerous country schools like Deener School and Aitkin School. This era was characterized by a massive rail infrastructure, including the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific RR and the New York Central RR, which serviced coal-rich settlements like Ladd and Cherry.
