About this map

Cabery sits at the northern edge of this Ford County landscape, where the prairie is defined by a rigorous grid of section-line roads and the winding paths of local waterways. The map illustrates a rural Illinois setting where small settlements like Kempton and the intentional community of Stelle are connected by an extensive network of gravel and paved routes, including Township Line Rd and North 1400E Rd.

For genealogists and local historians, several burial sites are documented throughout the townships, including Mona Township Cem and Saint Joseph Cem near the village limits. The drainage of the land is visible through the West Branch of W Br Horse Cr and Broughton Cr, which meander through the agricultural plots. These natural features contrast with the engineered precision of the county boundaries, where Kankakee and Iroquois counties meet.
