About this map

The Wabash River defines the eastern boundary of this Vermillion County landscape, winding past the county line with Parke County. The city of Clinton serves as the primary hub, surrounded by a dense network of residential clusters and historical pockets such as Fairview Park, Crompton Hill, and Sandytown. This area reflects a long history of settlement along the river terrace, where local genealogy is anchored by established sites like Walnut Grove Cem and Riverview Cem.

Away from the river, the terrain rises into upland areas punctuated by smaller communities including Centenary, Klondyke, and Universal. The map details a transition from the industrial and transport infrastructure near the river—including the Clinton Airport and rail lines serving Summit Grove—to the rural landscape further west. Waterways such as Brouilletts Creek and Norton Creek carve through the western and northern sections, while several smaller cemeteries like Helts Prairie Cem and Spangler Cem mark the heritage of the outlying townships.
