2012 Map of Channahon

About this map

The Des Plaines River and DuPage River converge in this industrial and residential landscape southwest of Joliet. The village of Channahon sits at this confluence, surrounded by a complex network of river islands such as Moose Island and Conroy Island. The area reflects a mix of modern infrastructure and agricultural heritage, shown by the Hadley Seed Farm and the specialized aviation facilities at Aero Four Airport and the Chicago Glider Club Gliderport. To the east, the sprawling grounds of the Abraham Lincoln National Cem dominate the terrain near Blodgett. The map also details several smaller residential developments like Lake of the Woods and Oak Lane, alongside the river-adjacent locations of Millsdale and Drummond. Local history is preserved in sites like Jackson Creek Cem and Maple Hill Cem, which stand in contrast to the heavy transport corridors of the interstate and frontage roads.
