2018 Map of Leland

About this map

Leland stands as a focal point in this LaSalle County landscape, where the intersection of local history and modern infrastructure is clearly defined. The settlement is characterized by a grid of streets including W Genesee St and E Railroad Ave, illustrating its development alongside transportation corridors. The rural character of Adams Township is preserved through the naming of small communities like Baker and Harding, while several family and religious burial grounds such as the Saint Clara Catholic Cem and Pierce Family Cem offer significant touchpoints for genealogists. The terrain is shaped by the winding paths of Indian Creek and Little Indian Creek, which meander through the township sections. Local aviation is represented by Humm Airport and Cody Port RLA Airport, showing the continued utility of these open Illinois plains into the 21st century.
