2018 Map of Wilton Center

About this map

Wilton Center and the surrounding prairie land on the border of Will and Kankakee Counties are defined by a strictly surveyed grid of agricultural roads and scattered rural settlements. The landscape is drained by the winding courses of Forked Cr and Rock Cr, which break the geometric precision of the township and range lines. Small communities like Andres in the northeast and Deselm in the southwest serve as local anchors for this farming region. Genealogists will find several significant burial sites documented, including the Wilton Center Cem, Mount Saint Patrick Cem, and the West Peotone Presbyterian Cem. The presence of the Neiner Airport near the southern boundary reflects the modern integration of aviation into this traditional Illinois agricultural corridor, while the network of county roads like Co Hwy 7 and Co Hwy 9 continues to facilitate the movement of goods through the heart of the Midwest.
