1924 Map of Kankakee

About this map

The Kankakee River winds through this central Illinois landscape, serving as a primary corridor for development between Kankakee, Bourbonnais, and Bradley. This 1922 survey documents a region defined by its diverse transportation network, where the Egyptian Trail and Illinois Electric Interurban intersect with the heavy rail lines of the Illinois Central and New York Central. The map reveals a dense distribution of rural education centers, including uniquely named sites like Flickerville School, Altdorf School, and Beecherown School, alongside major institutions such as the East Illinois Hospital.
