New Bedford serves as a focal point in this 1982 survey of the Illinois prairie, where the agricultural grid meets the historic Indian Treaty Boundary. The landscape is defined by the eastward flow of the Green River and the complex drainage networks of Crooked Creek, illustrating a highly managed rural environment. Significant transportation corridors, including the Chicago and North Western and Burlington Northern railroads, bisect the terrain, linking small settlements like Deer Grove and Normandy to larger regional markets.
