1971 Map of Sheridan

About this map

The Fox River carves through this LaSalle County landscape, anchoring the settlement of Sheridan and serving as a focal point for local industry. Large-scale extractive operations including several Quarries and numerous Gravel Pits line the riverbanks and the course of Somonauk Creek, which flows south into the Fox through a series of dramatic bends. To the north, Holiday Lake and the residential area of Northville illustrate the mid-century development of the region, while the Illinois Industrial School For Boys stands as a significant institutional landmark south of the main town.
