1994 Map of Marseilles

About this map

The industrial and riverfront character of Marseilles dominates this LaSalle County landscape, where the Illinois River corridor meets a complex history of transportation and power generation. The Illinois and Michigan Canal (Abandoned) and its namesake State Trail follow the northern bank, passing landmark infrastructure like the Marseilles Dam, the Gaging Sta, and Bells Island. South of the river, the terrain rises toward the expansive Marseilles State Fish and Wildlife Area and Illinois National Guard Training Area, while the LaSalle County Nuclear Station and the cooling reservoir of La Salle Lake mark the southern reach of the quadrangle.
