1963 Map of Leesville

About this map

Pembroke township and the surrounding sand-prairie landscapes of the Illinois-Indiana border come into sharp focus in this mid-century survey. The area is defined by its small, community-centered settlements such as Hopkins Park and Leesville, with a notable density of small country churches including Guiding Star Ch, Little Tabernacle Ch, and Rehoboth Ch scattered across the rural grid. These markers often indicate the social centers of the diverse farming communities that settled this part of Kankakee County.
