2024 Map of Danville SE

About this map

The Vermilion River carves a winding path through this corner of East Central Illinois, defining the landscape between Danville and the Indiana border. To the west, the settlements of Tilton, Grape Creek, and Himrod sit atop the bluffs, while the valley floor near Langley Bottom shows the natural meanders of the river. This 2024 survey captures a mix of industrial infrastructure and rural heritage, with the CSX Transportation line cutting through the north and a dense concentration of historical burial sites throughout the countryside. Genealogists will find a wealth of family history landmarks, from the expansive Greenwood Cemetery and Resurrection Cem near the city to smaller rural plots like McKendree Cem, Bock Cem, and Sandusky Cem that dot the townships. The transition from the urban grid of Danville into the agriculture of Vermilion County is marked by landmarks such as the Gessie Airport just across the state line in Indiana.
