Washington Township, Will County, Illinois

The land to the north, east, south, and west of Beecher is mostly made up of corn, soybean, and the occasional wheat field.

The Eagle Lake Region, in the far northeast corner of the township, is somewhat marshy with some clay, which is not ideal for above average crop yields.

The farm land is generally more fertile on the west and south sides of the township Beecher is a rural town with a population of approximately 2,900.

Within the last six or seven years it has seen a population increase close to 1,000 with the construction of several new housing developments on the northeast side of town.

A beautiful little, white country church, St. John's Lutheran, sits on a hill about 3/4 of a mile up the road to the north.
