2024 Map of Ransom
USGS Topo · Published 2024About this map
Ransom serves as the primary municipal center in this section of LaSalle County, Illinois, organized around a traditional grid of streets including Campbell St and Roosevelt St. The surrounding agricultural landscape is defined by a dense network of county highways and section roads, such as Co HWY 15 and N 16th Rd, that carve through the prairie. Waterways like Otter Creek and Waupecan Creek meander across the terrain, while the massive LaSalle County Nuclear Station Cooling Pond dominates the northeastern corner, indicating the modern industrial character of the region. Local heritage is preserved in several rural burial grounds, including Saint Patrick's Catholic Cem and Allen Cem, which sit just outside the main village. To the southwest, the smaller settlement of Kernan anchors the rural community near the banks of Otter Creek.
