1982 Map of Mendota East

About this map

The Old Indian Boundary slices diagonally across the LaSalle County landscape, marking a historical divide in the prairie south of the Mendota city limits. This survey illustrates the expansion of Mendota eastward into Meriden and Troy Grove townships, where the Burlington Northern railroad serves as a primary industrial corridor. Local education and community life are anchored by landmarks like Holy Cross Sch & PO and Northwest Sch, while the rural outskirts are dotted with family-named burial grounds such as Worsley Cem and Crandall Cem. Along the Little Vermilion River, public spaces like River Park provide a recreational contrast to the grid of agricultural roads, including 45th Road and 40th Road, which define the region's transport network.
