1947 Map of La Salle

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

The Illinois River serves as the industrial and geographic anchor of this mid-century landscape, flanked by the prominent urban centers of La Salle, Peru, and Spring Valley. A dense network of railroads, including the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific RR and the Chicago Burlington and Quincy RR, crisscrosses the river valley, illustrating the region's importance as a transportation hub for coal and agriculture. This 1940s revision documents the post-war state of these river towns, where St Bedes College and Webster Park overlook the valley floor.
