2015 Map of Wedron

About this map

The Fox River carves a deep path through LaSalle County, shaping the landscape near settlements like Wedron and Dayton. This area is defined by the convergence of several waterways, including Indian Creek, Buck Cr, and Crookedleg Cr, which feed into the main river channel. The map highlights a mix of rural agricultural land and recreation, most notably the Illinois and Michigan Canal National Heritage Corridor along the southern edge. Local history is anchored by several named burial grounds, such as Freedom Lutheran Cem and Trumbo Cem, which serve as vital markers for genealogical research. The presence of the Skydive Chicago Airport near Sulphur Springs adds a modern aviation element to this traditionally river-oriented geography, while the grid of rural roads like N 39th Rd and E 18th Rd facilitates movement across the township sections.
