2024 Map of Herscher
USGS Topo · Published 2024About this map
Herscher serves as the primary hub of this agricultural landscape in Kankakee County, where a dense grid of rural roads connects several small settlements and numerous historic burial grounds. The village layout of Herscher is clearly defined by its residential streets, including N Main St and E Kankakee Ave, and its local Post Office. Genealogists will find this sheet particularly valuable for its documentation of many denominational and community cemeteries scattered across the prairie, such as Saint Peter and Paul Cem, Zion Lutheran Cem, and Trinity Lutheran Cem. The terrain is characterized by the branching waterways of West Branch Horse Creek and East Branch Horse Creek, with the elevation rising toward Pilot Hill in the southern portion of the quadrangle. Other smaller localities like Goodrich, Lehigh, and Dickeys further illustrate the distribution of early settlements in the region.
