About this map

The Kankakee River anchors this landscape, flowing through the heart of the region past the city of Kankakee and the village of Aroma Park. South of the urban center, the landscape transitions into a network of tributaries including Gar Creek, Minnie Creek, and the winding Iroquois River. This confluence is marked by distinct landforms such as Sugar Island and the elevation of Mount Langham to the east.

Institutional and communal history is well-represented, particularly through the numerous burial sites and public facilities. The presence of both the State Hospital Cemetery and the Old State Hospital Cemetery reflects the area's long-standing specialized facilities, while educational and transport hubs like the Kankakee Community College and Greater Kankakee Airport indicate modern regional growth. Researchers will find numerous smaller family and community plots, including the Bebe Family Cemetery and Leggtown Cemetery, scattered among the rural stretches south of the city.
