About this map

Wenona serves as the central hub of this prairie landscape, straddling the border between La Salle and Marshall Counties. The town's grid is well-established, anchored by the Fieldcrest Middle School and multiple burial grounds including Wenona Cem and St Marys Cem. A strong agricultural and transit character is evident through the path of several watercourses like Sandy Creek and Judd Creek, which cut through the surrounding townships of Hope, Richland, and Evans.

Transportation infrastructure dominates the north-south corridor, featuring Interchange 41 and Interchange 35 along the primary highway. Smaller aviation landmarks like the Entwistle Landing Strip and Foote Landing Strip appear tucked into the rural acreage, while the southern edge of the map reaches the periphery of Toluca. The presence of numerous small family or community burial sites, such as Cherry Point Cem and Riely Cem, provides a detailed record for those researching local lineage in this part of Illinois during the late twentieth century.
