About this map

The Kankakee riverfront and the confluence with the Iroquois River anchor this 2018 survey of eastern Illinois. The city’s urban grid, detailed through streets like East Court Street and Cobb Boulevard, transitions into a landscape shaped by water and aviation. To the south, the Greater Kankakee Airport occupies a significant portion of the prairie, while smaller settlements like Aroma Park and Sammons Point sit along the winding riverbanks.

Interpreting the terrain reveals a flat agricultural expanse interrupted by drainage features such as Exline Slough and Minnie Cr. Landmarks of local heritage are preserved in labels for the Barnett Cemetery and the distinct elevation of Mt Langham. The map effectively captures the intersection of modern infrastructure and the natural drainage systems of Baker Cr and Deer Cr that have long defined the Kankakee Valley's rural character.
