Travel to the United States The Regions of the United States The States, Districts and Territories of the United States State Flag State Seal Illinois. American FactFinder (U.S. Census) Illinois, the "Land of Lincoln" "Prairie State" Abbreviation: IL Named for the Illinois Indians, this state is known as the "Land of Lincoln," because it's where the 16th president was raised. Illinois became the 21st state in 1818. Illinois is the most populous state in the Midwest. At the northern edge of the state on Lake Michigan lies Chicago, the nation's third largest city. More than half of the population lives in and around Chicago, the leading industrial and transportation center in the region. The rest of the population lives in the smaller cities and on the farms that dot the state's gently rolling plains. Chicago, with its central location and its many cultural attractions and sports events, is a major tourist attraction. Sandy beaches, wooded parks, and yacht harbors border most of Chicago's 50-kilometer shoreline along Lake Michigan. Benannt nach den Illinois Indianern, ist der Bundesstaat auch als "Land of Lincoln" bekannt. Hier wuchs der 16. Präsident auf. 1818 wurde Illinois der 21. Bundesstaat.

Leonard Walther Phil Young Contact: Tom Parisi, Office of Public Affairs February 10, 2003 NIU geography department partners with Northern Illinois Food Bank DeKalb, Ill.—In order to erase hunger from the map, the Northern Illinois Food Bank first needed, well, a map. So when the food bank set out recently to identify population pockets of greatest hunger need, it turned to Northern Illinois University mapping experts for help. Cartographer Lenny Walther and research scientist Phil Young, both faculty in NIU’s Department of Geography, volunteered to create a map illustrating varying hunger needs by township in the northern Illinois region. The completed map ( click here to see map ) allows food bank planners to quickly identify the proximity of pantries and distribution sites to needy areas. “We sometimes fail to recognize the value of resources that are so close to us and willing to help,” said H. Dennis Smith, Northern Illinois Food Bank executive director. “I’m glad we asked for help and NIU responded because together we will make a difference in helping the hungry.” Northern Illinois Food Bank, based in St. Charles, serves a 12-county region. Smith said the food bank wanted to be able to quickly visualize the location and concentration of populations living at or near the poverty level. The U.S. Census Bureau makes that data available.

The fertile prairies are drained by more than 275 rivers, most of which flow to the Mississippi-Ohio system; the Illinois is the largest river in the state. These rivers provided early explorers a way SW from Lake Michigan into the interior of the continent and later, in the days of canal building, played a big part in hastening settlement of the prairies. The completion of the Erie Canal linked Illinois, through the Great Lakes, to the eastern seaboard of the United States. The Illinois Waterway links Chicago to the Mississippi basin as the old Chicago and Illinois and Michigan canals once did, and the St. Lawrence Seaway provides access for oceangoing vessels. The waterways are but a part of a transportation complex that includes railroads, airlines (Chicago's O'hare airport is one of the busiest in the world), and an extensive modern highway system.

Encyclopedia Illinois, state, United States Geography The broad level lands that gave Illinois the nickname Prairie State were fashioned by late Cenozoic glaciation, which leveled rugged ridges and filled valleys over the northern and central parts of the state. The fertile prairies are drained by more than 275 rivers, most of which flow to the Mississippi-Ohio system; the Illinois is the largest river in the state. These rivers provided early explorers a way SW from Lake Michigan into the interior of the continent and later, in the days of canal building, played a big part in hastening settlement of the prairies. The completion of the Erie Canal linked Illinois, through the Great Lakes, to the eastern seaboard of the United States.

The waterways are but a part of a transportation complex that includes railroads, airlines (Chicago's O'hare airport is one of the busiest in the world), and an extensive modern highway system. The state's climate is continental, with extreme seasonal variations of temperature in parts of the state. Among Illinois's many tourist attractions are Shawnee National Forest, with recreational facilities; the Cahokia Mounds; and many state parks and historical sites, including New Salem and Lincoln's home and burial place in Springfield. An additional summer attraction is the Illinois State Fair.

Scratch Me, and I Bleed Champaign: Geography, Poverty and Politics in the Heart of East Central Illinois Jonathan Sterne Bad Subjects , Issue # 17, November 1994 Legend (Instructions on How to Read This Place) As all maps are unreadable without a legend, I offer you mine at the beginning. This essay will chart the geography of Urbana-Champaign from a hybrid point of view: considering it from the vantage point of the local African-American community (or perhaps, more accurately, a point of view sympathetic to that community, of which I cannot claim to be a part) and at the same time from my own point of view as a white graduate student trying to make sense of this place. By looking at the politics produced in local geography, I will develop a materialist account of Urbana- Champaign. Geography is a substance and not just an instrument of local politics. Real (that is to say, material) local conditions themselves produce the imagined geographies that seem to underwrite them. Local Knowledge Urbana-Champaign is a relatively quiet midwestern twin cities located three hours south of Chicago in east-central Illinois. We're just south of Interstate 74, and the last stop on I-72. The residential population is about 100,000; during the school year, the university probably adds about 25,000 to that number. Its not simply a university town, however. There are several major local industries: it supports factories for Kraft and Solo Cup, and its an old and thriving banking center. In fact, Urbana-Champaign is something of a regional center for a whole host of surrounding smaller towns. But the economy here (as in many other places) is not what it once was, and both towns are very concerned with 'image' issues, in terms of attracting businesses and in terms of attracting tourists. Thus, the promotional literature touts each town as having its own 'personality,' an over-generalization somewhat confirmed by my own experience.
