The Kankakee River winds through this landscape along the Illinois and Indiana border, creating a complex series of islands and bends including Vails Island and Essigs Point. This riverfront is densely packed with localized settlements and recreational clusters such as Litchfield, Log Cabin Camp, Woodland, and the namesake Illiana Heights. The map reveals a distinct transition from these riverside communities to the rigid agricultural grid of the surrounding prairie.
