About this map

The confluence of the DuPage River and Des Plaines River dominates this Will County landscape, illustrating a region defined by its water routes and conservation lands. The Illinois and Michigan Canal National Heritage Corridor traces the historic path of commerce through Channahon and Millsdale, while to the southeast, the expansive Midewin National Forest protects a significant portion of the tallgrass prairie ecosystem.

Genealogists can identify several burial sites scattered across the rural and developing areas, including Willard Grove Cem near Minooka, Troutman Grove Cem to the east, and Reed's Grove Cem near Blodgett. The river systems are punctuated by notable landforms such as Moose Island, Conroy Island, and the Kankakee Bluffs, while residential expansion is evident in settlements like Shorewood and Lake of the Woods.
