2021 Map of Wilton Center

About this map

Wilton Center and Andres anchor this prairie landscape along the Will-Kankakee county line. The area is defined by a dense grid of rural roads and the drainage patterns of Forked Cr and Rock Cr. For genealogists, the map preserves several local burial grounds including Wilton Center Cem, Mount Saint Patrick Cem, and West Peotone Cem, which suggest the historic settlement patterns of this agricultural region. The southern edge of the map reaches the outskirts of Manteno and the small community of Deselm. This modern 2021 survey illustrates how the large section-based farming parcels remain dominant, even as specialized landmarks like Neiner Airport appear within the traditional townships. The transition from Kankakee to Will County is marked by long straightaways such as W 12000N Road and W Arsenal Road.
