The confluence of the Illinois River, Kankakee River, and Des Plaines River creates a complex hydraulic landscape where industrial infrastructure meets conserved prairie. The legacy of the Illinois and Michigan Canal remains a prominent feature, running parallel to the larger river system and passing through the settlement of Aux Sable. To the south, Goose Lake Prairie State Park preserves a portion of the tallgrass prairie that once dominated this region, while the Dresden Island Lock and Dam facilitates modern navigation at the river junction.
