About this map

The Illinois River serves as the central artery for this portion of LaSalle and Grundy counties, where industrial development and historic transport routes converge. The village of Seneca is flanked by the Illinois and Michigan Canal (Abandoned) and the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad, illustrating the shift from nineteenth-century water transport to twentieth-century rail and industrial infrastructure. To the east of the town center, a large Chemical Plant and a U S Govt Reservation occupy the riverbank, signaling the era's economic priorities.
