The Illinois River corridor near Morris forms the backbone of this topographic study, where the historic Illinois and Michigan Canal runs parallel to the main waterway. This landscape reflects a dense intersection of river-based commerce and conservation, anchored by Gebhard Woods State Park and the William Stratton State Access Area. The confluence of Nettle Creek and the Mazon River with the Illinois creates a complex network of wetlands and sloughs, including Mud Slough and Peacock Slough.
