Streator and its northern surroundings are defined by the winding course of the Vermilion River and a dense network of local creeks. The landscape is a mix of urban development and rural township grids, including the Delbert Egan Housing Project and Evans Heights Housing Project on the northern edge of the city. Notable for its concentration of small family and denominational burial grounds, the area includes sites like Saint Casimir Cem, Hillcrest Memorial Cem, and Saint Anthony Catholic Cem. Small settlements such as Kangley, Richards, and Grand Ridge dot the countryside, connected by an extensive grid of numbered township roads. The map also features Rothrock Airport and several prominent drainage systems including Otter Creek, Wolf Creek, and Prairie Cr, which carve through the relatively level Illinois prairie.
