2012 Map of East Lynn

About this map

East Lynn and the smaller settlements of Hustle and Reilly anchor this rural landscape in Vermilion County, defined by a strict geometric grid of county roads. The settlement pattern here reflects the enduring influence of the Public Land Survey System, where agriculture remains the primary economic driver. Waterways such as Fountain Cr and Whisky Cr cut across the cardinal-direction roads, providing the only natural variation in the otherwise linear geography. Genealogy interest is centered on East Lynn Cem and Prairie Chapel Cem, which sit alongside these rural transit routes. The presence of Russells Airport north of the village shows the modernization of this agricultural corridor, while the central cluster of Walnut, Broadway, and Moores St marks the historic core of East Lynn.
