2018 Map of Danville SE

About this map

The Vermilion River carves a winding path through this portion of the Illinois and Indiana borderlands, defining the local geography as it flows past Langley Bottom. On the Illinois side, the southern edge of Danville and the town of Tilton give way to smaller settlements like Grape Creek, Himrod, and Meeks. This map is particularly valuable for genealogists, as it identifies over a dozen burial sites scattered across the landscape, including Atherton Cem, the McKendree Cem, and the Saints Peter and Paul Cem. East across the state line in Indiana, the terrain shifts near Gessie and Rileysburg, where the Gessie Airport and several small creeks like Coal Br and Spring Cr drain the rural countryside. The network of county roads, such as Perrysville Rd and Co Hwy 504, connects these isolated farmsteads and historic family cemeteries.
