2021 Map of Long Point

About this map

Long Point and the surrounding agricultural landscape of the Illinois prairie are documented in this recent survey along the border of LaSalle and Livingston counties. Small unincorporated settlements including Ancona, Munster, Garfield, and Leeds define the rural residential pattern, connected by a rigid grid of country roads such as Co Hwy 7 and E 12th Rd. Local genealogy is anchored by the Ancona Cem and Long Point Cem, providing vital reference points for researchers. The terrain is gently shaped by several winding waterways, including Eagle Cr, Moon Cr, and Prairie Cr, which cut through the rectilinear farm plots. Near the southern edge, Long Point Cr flows past the village, illustrating the long-standing relationship between these small communities and the local drainage systems that support the regional grain economy.
