About this map

The rural intersection of Milks Grove, Ashkum, and Chebanse townships is captured here during the mid-1980s. This agricultural landscape in East Central Illinois is defined by a rigorous grid of drainage ditches and section roads, showing the evolution of the Grand Prairie into productive farmland. The hydrology is centered on Langan Creek, which winds through the southeastern portion of the quadrangle. Significant local infrastructure includes the Berns Landing Strip, reflecting the role of private aviation in managing these large agricultural holdings. Signs of localized industry and early settlement are present via a Gravel Pit, a Well, and a small Cem located near the township boundaries. These features provide a clear view of the specialized land use in the Kankakee and Iroquois County borderlands prior to further modern consolidation.
