The confluence of the Illinois River, Kankakee River, and Dresden Run serves as the industrial and navigational hub for this region southwest of Joliet. Massive civil engineering projects are evident at the Dresden Island Lock and Dam, while the historic route of the Michigan and Illinois Canal traces the northern bank of the Illinois. The village of Minooka sits at the junction of major rail lines, including the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific RR and the Elgin Joliet and Eastern RR, illustrating its role as a transportation crossroads.
