The Kankakee River winds across the northern edge of this landscape, defining a region where water management and agricultural development have long gone hand-in-hand. This 2010 survey illustrates an intricate network of drainage systems, including Brown Ditch, Hodge Ditch, and Krucek Ditch, which channel water through the fertile plains. The town of DeMotte serves as the central hub, surrounded by smaller communities such as Kersey to the east and Deer Park and Kniman to the south.
