Ottawa, Illinois, sits where the Illinois and Fox rivers meet in La Salle County, and by the later nineteenth century it was a county seat shaped by water and rail. The Illinois and Michigan Canal, completed in the 1840s, ran past the town and carried grain and goods toward Chicago, while rail lines followed and tied the surrounding farms to larger markets. Ottawa was also the site of the first Lincoln-Douglas debate in August 1858, an event local residents remembered as a turning point in the state's political life. The bird's-eye view shows a town whose streets, mills, and church spires reflected that mix of river commerce, farming, and civic pride.
