2012 Map of Ransom
USGS Topo · Published 2012About this map
Ransom and the smaller community of Kernan anchor this portion of the LaSalle County landscape, where the rectilinear grid of country roads defines the agricultural character of north-central Illinois. The map captures a transition from the quiet drainages of Otter Cr and Waupecan Cr to the massive industrial and environmental footprint of La Salle Lake and the adjacent LaSalle Fish Hatchery in the northeast. Genealogists will find significant local value in the distribution of family and parish burial grounds, including the Saint Patrick's Catholic Cem, Hegland Cem, Allen Cem, and Funk Cem. While the village of Ransom shows a traditional street plan featuring E Plumb St and E Roosevelt St, the surrounding acreage remains dominated by open fields and small airfields like Egland Field.
