2018 Map of Danville SW

About this map

The Vermilion River and Middle Fork Vermilion River converge near Batestown, shaping a landscape where industrial footprints and rural burial grounds coexist. This 2018 survey captures the dense development south of Danville, where the communities of Westville, Belgium, and Tilton form a contiguous corridor of residential and commercial activity. The area is particularly rich in genealogical data, preserving the locations of numerous family and church burial sites, from the Wright Family Cem and Pate Cem to the Lithuanian Cem. To the west, the village of Catlin serves as a hub for the more agricultural sections of the quadrangle, which are marked by drainage systems like Fayette Drain and the prominent Woodland Ridge Cem. The presence of Missionfield Pond and Doughnut Pond suggests the legacy of former surface mining operations common to this region of Vermilion County.
