The Kankakee River and Des Plaines River converge in this corner of Will County, shaping a landscape defined by conservation and industry. By the late 20th century, former military and industrial lands were transitioning into public spaces like the Midewin National Tallgrass Prairie and the Des Plaines State Conservation Area. The city of Wilmington sits along the river's edge, while to the southwest, Braidwood reveals a grid of residential streets near several local landmarks including the Reed-Custer High Sch and multiple area cemeteries.
