About this map

The confluence of the Des Plaines River and DuPage River defines this industrial and memorial landscape in Will County. This modern survey illustrates the expansive Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery and the protected Illinois and Michigan Canal National Heritage Corridor, documenting the preservation of both local history and the natural waterway system.

Settlement patterns are concentrated around Channahon, Shorewood, and the southwestern edges of Joliet, while specialized sites like the Dow Chemical Entrance and the community of Drummond highlight the region's transport-driven economy. Genealogists can find several small burial sites including Willard Grove Cem, McCune Cem, and Maple Hill Cem. The river geography is marked by distinctive features such as Treat Island, Moose Island, and the Kankakee Bluffs, while the Smith Bridge serves as a critical crossing point for local transit.
