1970 Map of Wedron

About this map

The Fox River carves a deep valley through LaSalle County in the early 1970s, joined by the winding Indian Creek near the settlement of Wedron. This landscape is defined by the intersection of water and industry, with several Gravel extraction sites and a Gravel Pit lining the river bluffs. To the south, Dayton sits near the riverbanks, while the northern outskirts of Ottawa appear at the bottom edge of the sheet, marked by a Radio Tower and the First Nazarene Ch.
