2015 Map of Mendota East

About this map

The city of Mendota serves as a significant junction in LaSalle County, where the street grid transitions from the dense urban layout of Michigan Ave and W Main St to the expansive agricultural landscape of Mendota Township. This 2015 survey illustrates how modern infrastructure interacts with the area’s early pioneer roots, notably through the preservation of numerous family and community burial grounds scattered across the countryside. The Little Vermilion River and Vermilion Cr wind through these farmsteads, providing the primary drainage for the surrounding fields.
