1998 Map of Cabery

About this map

The village of Cabery straddles the line between Ford and Kankakee counties, serving as a primary focal point for this agrarian landscape in the late 1990s. The region is defined by a systematic drainage network including Crane Creek and the West Branch Horse Creek, which navigate the low-lying terrain of Rogers and Mona townships. Near the southern edge of the map, the settlement of Kempton appears with its local Cemetery, while the intentional community of Stelle is visible to the east. The map records several legacy burial sites such as Mount Hope Cem and Floridale Cem, essential for genealogists tracing families in the Illinois prairie. Civil engineering features like the Spoil Bank along Kelly Creek reflect the long-term management of the land for agricultural productivity, a character that persists across the neighboring Milks Grove and Sullivan districts.
