1948 Map of Danville NW

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

Danville serves as the industrial and residential anchor at the southeastern edge of this Vermilion County landscape, where the North Fork Vermilion River feeds into the expansive Lake Vermilion. The late 1940s terrain is marked by a dense network of country schools and churches that define the rural character of Blount and Danville townships. Settlements like Hillery and West Hillery sit along the southern rail corridors of the Illinois Terminal and New York Central railroads. The western portion of the map is dominated by the nascent Kickapoo State Park, showing a landscape shaped by historical land use near the Vermilion River. Genealogists will find a wealth of local landmarks, from the Thurman and Pentecost cemeteries to small rural institutions like the Atwood Sch and Vermilion Chapel.
