2015 Map of Streator South

About this map

The Vermilion River carves a deep, winding path south of Streator, serving as the primary geographical anchor for a region defined by agricultural plains and scattered rural settlements. This 2015 survey illuminates the transition from the organized grid of the city to the more irregular topography of the river valley, where water bodies like Lentman Lake and numerous creek systems, including Moon Cr and Prairie Cr, break the landscape. For genealogists, the map is particularly detailed in its inventory of burial grounds, marking sites like River View Cem, Old Saint Stephen Cem, and Moon's Point Cem. Small unincorporated communities such as Coalville, Vermilion City, and Manville are depicted, showing their relationship to local landmarks like the Manville Bridge and the county line between LaSalle and Livingston counties.
