2010 Map of Bismarck

About this map

Bismarck and the surrounding farmland of Vermilion County are defined by the convergence of several waterways, including the North Fork Vermilion River and the meandering Middle Branch North Fork Vermilion River. The landscape is a structured grid of rural roads punctuated by small settlements like Alvin and Thomas. Local history and genealogy are anchored by several scattered burial grounds, such as Rose Cemetery and Miller Cemetery, which reflect the area's agricultural development. The presence of the James M Adams Airport and the Bismarck Post Office indicates a settled infrastructure that serves the various townships. Along the western edge, Barlow Park provides a dedicated green space near the river, while Stoney Creek and Painter Creek drain the eastern and southern portions of the territory. This 2010 survey offers a detailed look at the rural township structure and small-town footprints in eastern Illinois.
