2012 Map of Streator North

About this map

The Vermilion River and its network of tributaries, including Otter Cr, Wolf Cr, and Prairie Cr, define the agricultural and residential landscape north of Streator. The area's settlement history is marked by a high density of burial grounds, such as Grand Rapids Methodist Cem, Wolf Creek Cem, and Naramoor Cem, which provide significant points of interest for genealogists researching LaSalle County families. The map details the transition from the concentrated grid of Grand Ridge and Kangley to industrial and recreational spaces like Anderson Fields Golf Course and the Evans Heights Housing Project. Transportation routes are anchored by a north-south railroad line and the Rothrock Airport at the southern edge, while the local geography is dotted with landmarks like Rees Field and Marilla Park. This map provides a clear record of the area's development, balancing established rural communities with modern residential infrastructure.
