2012 Map of Leesville

About this map

Hopkins Park and the surrounding prairie-turned-farmland on the Illinois-Indiana border are defined here by a geometric grid of rural roads and an extensive network of drainage infrastructure. This area, spanning the southeastern edge of Kankakee County, reveals a landscape engineered for agriculture, where Little Beaver Cr and Spring Cr are joined by man-made channels like Best Ditch, Redden Ditch, and the Riner Houseworth Ditch. Small residential clusters and historic stops such as Leesville, Tallmadge, and Doney dot the section lines, reflecting a long history of rural settlement near the state line. Genealogists and local historians will find the location of the Morgan Cem particularly notable, tucked away in the southeastern corner of the quadrangle near the boundary between Illinois and Indiana. The presence of Saint Anne Woods and a Bible Camp adds a layer of community and recreational history to this productive agricultural corridor.
