How to Use This Sun River Terrace, Illinois Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Sun River Terrace, Illinois. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of Illinois or beyond.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).
TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Sun River Terrace.
Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.
Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

ZIP code: 60964.Sun River Terrace occupies a quiet stretch of land where the Kankakee River carves a slow, deliberate path through the flat, fertile earth of the Illinois prairie. It lies 6.6 miles east of Kankakee, IL (from Kankakee, IL: bearing 86°T), and is situated 7.7 miles east-southeast of Bourbonnais. The horizon here is vast and unencumbered, defined by the seasonal shift of corn and soybean fields that meet the sky in a long, steady line. To the east, the elevation rises slightly toward the silhouette of Mount Langham, while the dense, shaded canopy of Heiland Forest Preserve provides a cool reprieve from the relentless summer heat. In the late afternoon, the light turns a deep, burnished gold, catching the surface of Mirror Lake five miles away and transforming the water into a sheet of polished glass that reflects the changing clouds.
Sun River Terrace grew from the industrious spirit of the Midwest, serving as a steady anchor for families drawn to the rhythm of the river and the productivity of the surrounding soil. The economy remains tethered to the land and the quiet movement of goods along regional corridors, maintaining an unpretentious character shaped by generations of labor. Life in Sun River Terrace proceeds with a measured, predictable cadence, where the morning mist rising off the Kankakee River marks the start of the day and the evening silence is broken only by the distant, rhythmic hum of local machinery. There is an enduring stability in the brick-and-limestone architecture that defines the local aesthetic, grounding the people in a landscape that values persistence and the slow, honest accumulation of time.

About This Sun River Terrace Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Sun River Terrace, Illinois. Coordinates: 41.126977, -87.735594. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.
Detailed location data for Sun River Terrace includes the ZIP code (60964), telephone area code (630, 331), county seat of Kankakee County (Kankakee), and school district assignment (Momence Community Unit School District 1).
Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any US town, county or landmark by name; offers USGS topographic maps and USGS aerial imagery as base layers; overlays a labelled U.S. National Grid (USNG) so the map can be read like a printed topographic quad; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a USNG grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
Location data is drawn from the USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and cross-verified against 2020 US Census records by coordinate proximity. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
