About this map

The Vermilion River and the Middle Fork Vermilion Wild and Scenic River define the northern corridor of this landscape, winding past the industrial and residential outskirts of Danville. The area's coal mining and ethnic heritage are reflected in its dense concentration of small communities and specialized landmarks, such as the Westville Lithuanian Cem and Saints Peter and Paul Cem in the southern reaches near Westville.

From the high banks of Bucktown to the residential streets of Tilton and Catlin, the map captures the transition from urban industry to rural drainage systems like Fairview Drain. Local family histories are preserved in numerous burial grounds, including the Wright Family Cem and Jones Grove Cem, which stand alongside more contemporary institutions such as the Tricoci University of Beauty Culture in Hegeler.
