About this map

Lake Vermilion and the North Fork Vermilion River dominate the eastern landscape of this Vermilion County region, where the urban edge of Danville meets rural townships. The map documents a significant network of local cemeteries, including Fairchild Cem, Bethel Cem, and Snider Cem, which serve as critical markers for genealogical research in these longstanding communities. The southern portion of the quadrangle shows the residential and industrial character of Hillery and Hartshorn, situated near the complex hydrology of Emerald Pond and Inland Sea.

Conservation areas are prominent to the west, specifically the Middle Fork Vermilion Wild and Scenic River and Lake Mingo. The transition from the dense street grids of Danville, featuring institutions like the Lakeview College of Nursing Danville Campus, to the scattered settlements of Snider and Wyton illustrates the twentieth-century expansion of the city into the surrounding timber and river valleys.
