2015 Map of Bradley

About this map

Kankakee and Bradley anchor the southern portion of this landscape, showing the dense residential grid and industrial expansion of these Illinois communities in the mid-2010s. Northward, the map transitions into the suburban and rural fringes of Manteno, where newer developments like McGuire Dr and E Amberstone Rd meet traditional farmland. The area is defined by a series of small airfields, including Spangler Airport and Benoit Airport, alongside significant institutional grounds such as Olivet Nazarene Univ. Drainage patterns are clearly marked by Exline Slough and Soldier Cr, which navigate the flat prairie terrain between scattered settlements like Indian Oaks and Saint George. For local historians, the inclusion of the State Hospital Cem and Mound Grove Cem provides specific points for genealogical research within the larger urban-to-rural transition of Kankakee County.
