1924 Map of Momence

Rural life is meticulously documented through dozens of named district schools, such as Frogtown School and Ostrander School, which served the outlying townships of Sumner and Yellowhead. To the south, the settlement of St Anne and the village of Hopkins Park emerge from a landscape of creeks and sloughs, including Whitaker Slough and Beaver Creek. The map provides a detailed view of the Kankakee's islands, including Maple Island and Vails Island, illustrating the river's character before modern channelization altered its course.
