Buckingham and the surrounding agricultural plains of Kankakee County are defined by a rigorous grid of section-line roads and the drainage of several small prairie streams. In this 2021 landscape, small settlements like Reddick, Union Hill, and Cabery serve as the primary hubs for the surrounding farmsteads. Genealogical interest is anchored by Colman Cem and Smith Cem, which remain as legacy points within the modern township divisions. The presence of Hugh Van Voorst Airport and Hendrix Airport highlights the continued importance of local aviation in this part of Illinois. The terrain is subtly carved by Reddick Run, Crane Cr, and the W Br Horse Cr, illustrating the watershed patterns that shaped early land use in the region long before the modern road network was established.
