1992 Map of Leroy

About this map

Leroy sits at the intersection of a former Railroad Grade and a landscape transitioning from upland groves to a complex network of agricultural drainage. In the early 1990s, this area of Lake County reflects a deeply rooted rural layout where small settlements like Southeast Grove, Creston, and Dinwiddie are connected by a rigid grid of numbered avenues. The southern half of the map is defined by the managed water of the Little Ditch and Grisel Ditch systems, which suggest a history of reclaiming wetland for cultivation.
