About this map

The Vermilion River carves a deep path through the LaSalle County countryside, defining the topography of this Illinois farm landscape. The village of Leonore sits atop the western bluffs, serving as a focal point for the surrounding agricultural community. Small rail-side or crossroads settlements like Wilsman, Milla, and Altmar are scattered across the grid of county roads, representing the enduring rural infrastructure of the region.

Genealogists and local historians can locate established burial grounds such as Union Cem near Leonore and Lostlands Cem to the east. The map captures contemporary rural life through features like Wilts Airport and the Klein Bridge, which spans the river in the southeastern portion of the quadrangle. Drainage patterns are further defined by smaller tributaries such as Egg Bag Cr, which winds through the southern fields near Kangley.
