2010 Map of Leesville

About this map

Hopkins Park and the surrounding rural landscape in Kankakee County are defined by a grid-like system of local roads and a sophisticated network of drainage infrastructure. This area, located near the Illinois-Indiana border, relies on the management of water through features such as Johnson Ditch and the Riner Houseworth Ditch to maintain its agricultural character. Small residential clusters and historic place names like Tallmadge, Leesville, and Doney dot the prairie, while Saint Anne Woods provides a distinct change in the local settlement pattern. Genealogists may find value in the location of Morgan Cemetery on the eastern edge of the quadrangle. The map also traces the winding course of Little Beaver Creek as it cuts across the section lines, and notes localized developments such as the Bible Camp near Spring Creek.
