2024 Map of Leland

About this map

Leland anchors the northern reaches of this LaSalle County landscape, where the grain-belt tradition is etched into a grid of section roads and small-town centers. The village is defined by its transit roots along E Railroad Ave and N Main St, serving as a hub for the surrounding agricultural prairie. To the south, the terrain becomes more varied as Indian Creek and Little Indian Creek wind through the township, carving deeper channels into the earth and creating a natural break from the rectilinear farm fields. Local heritage is preserved in a high density of rural burial grounds, including the historic Saint Clara Cem and Pierce Cem. The settlements of Baker and Harding represent the long-standing community nodes of the area, while local aviation is represented by private facilities like Humm Airport and Cody Port Airport.
