Abstract
The Prairie Parklands is a 1,477- square-mile triangle of flat to gently rolling land that covers portions of eight counties in northeastern Illinois: Cook, Will, Kendall, Grundy, LaSalle, Kankakee, Ford, and Livingston. The region has 2,030 miles of rivers and streams. Two of the state’s largest rivers, the Des Plaines and the Kankakee, converge near Channahon to form the Illinois River.
