1968 Map of Collison

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

The Middle Fork Vermilion River carves through the eastern portion of this Vermilion County landscape, defining the topography between the townships of Pilot, Blount, and Oakwood. In the late 1960s, the area remained deeply rooted in its rural foundations, evidenced by a high density of small family and community burial grounds including Higginsville Cem, Porter Cem, and Emberry Cem. The village of Collison serves as a central point for the northern prairie, while the Chicago and Eastern Illinois railroad corridor cuts across the southern reach toward Newtown. Significant land use is marked by the Kickapoo State Park in the southeast corner, where the terrain shifts from open farmland to the wooded breaks near Glenburn. Genealogists will find particular value in the precisely marked schoolhouse at Newtown Sch and the numerous rural churches like Hebron Ch that anchored these farming communities.
