About this map

St Anne serves as the primary hub of this eastern Illinois landscape, situated at the junction of the Penn Central and the Chicago Louisville and Eastern Illinois Nashville railroads. The rail-centric development of the mid-1960s is evident in the cluster of industry near the town center, including the nearby claypits and pit operations. To the north, the small settlement of Wichert is anchored by its local landmark, Wichert Ch, while the surrounding prairie is divided into numerous townships including Ganeer and Pembroke.

The hydrography of the region is defined by the Kankakee R in the northwest corner and the winding courses of Spring Creek and Little Beaver Creek. Numerous burial grounds, such as St Annes Cem, Oakwood Cem, and Concordia Cem, provide essential data points for genealogical research. Distinctive features like Cote Lake and the Guiding Star Memorial Com further characterize the rural and residential pockets found throughout Kankakee and Iroquois counties.
