About this map

The agrarian landscape of southern Will County and northern Kankakee County is defined by the winding course of Forked Creek and its South Branch. The small community of Wilton Center serves as a focal point, surrounded by historic markers of settlement including the Wilton Cem and Calvary Cem. To the northeast, the settlement of Andres sits along the tracks of the C M St P & P railroad, illustrating the importance of rail transit for this farming region in the early 1950s. The survey also captures rural spiritual life through localized landmarks such as St Patricks Ch and the West Peotone Ch, alongside the West Peotone Cem. Wooded pockets like Gerdes Woods punctuate the open fields, providing a detailed look at the land use across Wilton, Peotone, and Rockville townships.
