Opening the Bourbonnais GIS map
For acreage around Sun River Terrace, some cities also run their own GIS portal for utilities or zoning; that can add detail on top of the county map.
Getting to the right map
Begin with the Kankakee County ArcGIS parcel map; it maps every tax parcel in the county, Manteno included. For land near Bradley, put in a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the matching parcel lights up. For land near Manteno, write down the parcel ID before closing the panel; every office in the county asks for it first.
When a parcel crosses a boundary
Kankakee County borders Ford County, Grundy County, Iroquois County, Livingston County, and Will County; every one of them runs a separate parcel map. Ground near Bradley that runs to the line can be split in two county records, so check the neighboring map before you assume the acreage. With a lot near Bradley, our state page lists every bordering county map for Illinois.
Where the recorded documents are
The map is an index, not the title: deeds, plats and easements for land near Kankakee are kept by the county Recorder of Deeds (in many counties the County Clerk and Recorder). Older tracts around Sun River Terrace may sit on several deeds, so a title company earns its fee on a real sale.
Taking the map into the field
Most viewers work in a phone browser, which helps when you're standing on land near Kankakee, but coverage can be spotty out of town. A printout of the tract near Kankakee helps when you meet an owner or agent.
