About this map

The Kankakee River dominates this portion of Kankakee County, carving a wide path that creates a unique series of mid-river landforms including Parish Island, Koops Island, and Eagle Island. This modern survey details the established riverfront communities of Momence and Sun River Terrace, where the grid of city streets meets the irregular shoreline. The surrounding landscape is defined by a dense network of county roads like N Vincennes Trl and Co Hwy 9, which connect smaller settlements such as Whitaker and Yeager.

Further north, the town of Grant Park sits near the shores of Lake Metonga, illustrating the region's agricultural and residential layout. Local heritage is preserved in numerous burial sites scattered across the township, from the centrally located Momence Cem to the outlying Union Corners Cem and Shrontz Cem. These markers, along with the Railroad corridor and various creek systems like Trim Cr and Tower Cr, provide a comprehensive view of the area's contemporary geography.
