About this map

The North Fork Vermilion River and South Fork Vermilion River carve winding paths through this central Illinois agricultural landscape, where the rural grid is anchored by the small communities of Wing, Forrest, and Fairbury. This survey illustrates the persistent importance of local heritage sites, including the Saunemin Five Mile Cem in the north and the North Apostolic Christian Cem centrally located along the section lines.

A network of numbered rural roads connects the outlying farmsteads to the municipal centers. The map documents specific infrastructure like the Vieley Bridge crossing the North Fork and the drainage patterns of Felky Slough and Fivemile Cr. These features, alongside the Saint John's Catholic Cem near Indian Creek, provide a detailed look at the social and physical geography of Livingston County at the start of the twenty-first century.
