2018 Map of Beecher West

About this map

The agricultural landscape along the Will Co Kankakee Co border is defined by a complex network of drainage features and small rural settlements. Small communities like Sollitt, Whitaker, and the northern edge of Grant Park are connected by a rigid grid of country roads such as S Egyptian Trl and E 12000N Rd. The terrain is shaped by several watercourses and managed drainage ways, including Exline Slough, Marshall Slough, and Black Walnut Cr. Local history is anchored by sites such as the Saint Paul Lutheran Cem and Heusing Cem, which serve as permanent markers of the area's early settlement. Near the town of Beecher, the intersection of Penfield St and W Indiana Ave marks a local activity hub, while the surrounding townships remain dedicated to a rural, water-managed geography.
