1916 Map of Marseilles

About this map

Marseilles and Seneca anchor this 1913 survey of the LaSalle County river valley, where the Illinois River corridor serves as a busy industrial and transit artery. The landscape is defined by the parallel paths of the Illinois and Michigan Canal and major rail lines, including the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific RR and the Chicago Ottawa and Peoria Electric RR. This transportation network supported a dense system of rural education, evidenced by nearly two dozen named schoolhouses such as the Naden School, Lasson School, and Peddicord School.
