How to Use This La Rose, Illinois Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for La Rose, Illinois. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of Illinois or beyond.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).
TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to La Rose.
Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.
Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

ZIP codes: 61541, 61570.La Rose emerges from the vast, flat expanse of the Illinois prairie like a quiet gathering of frame houses huddled against the immense, sky-heavy horizon. It lies 21.2 miles north-northeast of Washington, IL (from Washington, IL: bearing 25°T), and is situated 13.7 miles east-northeast of Chillicothe. The landscape surrounding La Rose is defined by the persistent, rhythmic geometry of corn and soybean fields that stretch until the earth seems to dissolve into a hazy, pale gray line. Only a mile away, the North Branch Crow Creek cuts a subtle, meandering path through the terrain, its banks lined with dense thickets that offer a cool respite from the relentless summer heat. In the quiet hours of dusk, the light here takes on a bruised, amber quality, casting long, thin shadows that stretch across the gravel roads and emphasize the profound, hollow silence of the plains. Bennington Park provides a modest, grassy anchor for the local geography, serving as a rare, manicured interruption to the endless, unyielding stretches of farmland that dominate the view in every direction.
History in La Rose is measured in the slow, mechanical ticking of agricultural cycles and the enduring legacy of the railroad, which once served as the central artery for the movement of grain and goods. The local economy remains tethered to the health of the soil, with the daily pulse of life dictated by the seasons of planting and harvest. While the bustle of larger regional centers feels worlds away, the inhabitants maintain a stoic, self-reliant character forged by decades of working this specific, dark-loam earth. Beyond the immediate fields, the landscape occasionally yields to the deeper, more rugged topography of Rattlesnake Hollow, and the distant, cooling presence of Barnes Lake provides a faint, shimmering landmark for those who look far enough toward the horizon. Life in La Rose moves with the deliberate, unforced pace of a place where the primary clock is the sun, and the primary ambition is the successful tending of the land.

About This La Rose Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of La Rose, Illinois. Coordinates: 40.982257, -89.235363. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.
Detailed location data for La Rose includes the ZIP code (61541, 61570), telephone area code (815), county seat of Marshall County (Lacon), and school district assignment (Fieldcrest Community Unit School District 6).
Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any US town, county or landmark by name; offers USGS topographic maps and USGS aerial imagery as base layers; overlays a labelled U.S. National Grid (USNG) so the map can be read like a printed topographic quad; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a USNG grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
Location data is drawn from the USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and cross-verified against 2020 US Census records by coordinate proximity. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
