2015 Map of Onarga East

About this map

Gilman and Onarga anchor the northwestern corner of this Iroquois County landscape, where the flat prairie terrain is defined by an intricate network of section-line roads and slow-moving waterways. The rural character of the area is punctuated by traditional community landmarks such as Saint John's Ash Grove Cem and Immanuel Lutheran Cem. These sites, along with the numerous family farms connected by routes like N 1000 East Rd and E 1600 North Rd, offer a clear view of the agricultural continuity that has shaped the region for generations. The drainage patterns of Spring Creek, Little Mud Cr, and Shavetail Cr illustrate the natural hydrology of the Illinois till plain, which remains the primary influence on local land use and development outside the small town centers.
