About this map

Streator and South Streator anchor the northern boundary of this Illinois landscape, where the Vermilion River carves a winding path southward through the prairie. The river’s meanders are punctuated by the historic Manville Bridge and several secluded cemeteries that sit along the bluffs, including Barrickman Cem and Phillips Cem. This area represents a transition from the urban grid of the city to the rural expanses of LaSalle and Livingston Counties.

Agricultural patterns dominate the terrain south of Lentman Lake, with small settlements like Reading, Manville, and Ancona serving as local hubs. Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the numerous family and church burial grounds, such as Old Saint Stephens Cem and Moon Point Cem, which are scattered throughout the township sections. Numerous creek systems, including Long Point Cr and Mud Cr, feed into the river, defining the local drainage and original property lines of the region.
