2018 Map of Tonica

About this map

Tonica serves as the central hub of this LaSalle County landscape, where the local road network radiates from the village center toward productive agricultural fields. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Bailey Cr in the north and Little Sandy Cr in the south, which cut through the steady grid of county roads. Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial sites concentrated near the settlements, including the Old Cedar Point Cem and Fairview Cem on the outskirts of Tonica, and the Saint John's Cem further south near Lostant. The map also traces the historic Peoria and Ottawa Rd, a significant regional thoroughfare that intersects with the newer interstate corridor. Smaller hamlets like Ticona and Lowell mark the northern reaches, preserving the 21st-century rural character of these established Illinois communities.
