This 7.5-minute topographic map covers the La Salle area of north-central Illinois, about 82 miles southwest of Chicago. First published in 1966 and printed in 1979 with 1979 revisions, it takes in the twin river towns of La Salle and Peru along the Illinois River, plus Oglesby, Utica, North Utica, and Cedar Point. Someone has pencilled communication infrastructure lines across the sheet, the kind of working markup left by a utility or survey hand reading this landscape at 1:24000.

FEATURES SHOWN ON THE MAP
The La Salle 7.5-minute map shows cities and towns, roads, paths, railroads, utilities and energy infrastructure, rivers, creeks, elevation contour lines, public land survey lines, county, state, and other administrative boundaries as they existed at the time of the survey. A reddish tint is used on this sheet to indicate urban areas where only landmark buildings are depicted. Outside of those areas, all known structures (houses, businesses, churches, schools, barns, cabins, etc) are shown.

A VALUABLE HISTORICAL RECORD
This map is from the 7.5-minute series, the most detailed series that is widely available from the USGS. The 1966 La Salle map is a valuable historical record for the area. It contains some placenames and features that have been dropped from more recent maps.

The map was photorevised in 1979. Any features that changed or were added between the original edition year of 1966 and the photorevision year of 1979 are overlayed in purple. The purple overlay provides an excellent view of the fast-growing and changing areas within the quad boundary.
