2015 Map of Collison

About this map

Higginsville and Collison anchor the northern reaches of this Vermilion County landscape, where the Middle Fork Vermilion River carves through the eastern terrain. The map reveals a dense network of burial sites that speak to generations of local families, including the Porter Cem, Trimmell Cem, and New Salem Cem. These cemeteries are distributed across the agricultural prairie and near the breaks of the river valley, marking the locations of early rural communities and family homesteads.
