About this map

The Vermilion River carves a deep, winding path through the agricultural landscape of south-central LaSalle County, defining the drainage patterns and topography of this prairie region. Near the village of Leonore, the terrain transitions from flat, productive farmland into the wooded bluffs and ravines that border the river valley. Local history is anchored by a network of rural burial sites, including Union Cem and Hill Cem to the north, and Lostlands Cem further south, each situated on high ground near established section lines and watercourses.

Industrial and transport infrastructure is represented by small, scattered settlements such as Wilsman, Milla, and Altmar, as well as Wilts Airport tucked between farm tracts. In the southeastern corner, the settlement of Kangley sits near the crossing of Egg Bag Creek. Notable landmarks like Klein Bridge provide specific points of crossing over the river, illustrating the vital role of local engineering in connecting these isolated agricultural communities.
