The industrial and agricultural convergence of Grundy County is clearly visible on this mid-century survey, centered on the city of Morris. The landscape is dominated by the Illinois River and the historic Illinois and Michigan Canal, which runs parallel through Gebhard State Park. To the southeast, the geography shifts toward heavy industry, where extensive Strip Mines surround the coal-country communities of Coal City, Carbon Hill, and Diamond.
