1991 Map of Kankakee

About this map

The Kankakee River and its intricate drainage network, including the Iroquois River and Singleton Ditch, anchor this 1991 survey of the Illinois and Indiana borderlands. The landscape is a study in transition from the established urban centers of Kankakee, Bourbonnais, and Bradley to the extensive managed marshlands and wildlife areas to the east. Extensive conservation lands like the Willow Slough State Fish and Wildlife Area and Beaver Lake Wildlife Refuge reveal the scale of regional water management and land preservation efforts.
