About this map

The Kankakee River winds through the northern portion of this landscape, defining a region where water management is central to the land's utility. A complex network of drainage infrastructure, including Bass Ditch, Ryan Ditch, and Luken Ditch, suggests a history of reclaiming wetlands for agriculture. The settlement of San Pierre serves as a local hub, anchored by its grid of streets such as W Ann St and White St.

Further west and south, smaller nodes like Tefft, Radioville, and Clarks are connected by a rigorous grid of county roads. The abundance of named waterways, such as Heimberg Ditch and the Anthony Ditch, indicates the significant engineering effort required to maintain the productivity of this Starke and Pulaski County borderland. Landmarks like Dunns Bridge mark historic crossing points over the river, while the surrounding terrain remains primarily defined by the intersection of these vital waterways and rural transport routes.
