1953 Map of Beecher West

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

The village of Beecher stands at a significant rail junction in this mid-century survey of the Illinois borderlands. Situated near the line between Will and Kankakee Co, the landscape is defined by the heavy presence of the Chicago and Eastern Illinois and Louisville and Nashville railroads. These lines supported the small settlements of Sollitt and Whitaker while navigating a complex drainage system of named sloughs and creeks, including Exline Slough and Marshall Slough.
