2018 Map of Forrest North

About this map

The North Fork Vermilion River and South Fork Vermilion River carve a meandering path through this Livingston County landscape, defining the rural character between the communities of Fairbury and Forrest. This 2018 survey reveals a terrain dominated by a systematic grid of agricultural roads, such as N 2500 E Rd and E 1200 North Rd, punctuated by landmarks of local heritage. Significant for genealogical research, the map identifies the Saunemin Five Mile Cem, the North Apostolic Christian Cem, and Saint John's Catholic Cem near the southern boundary. The small settlement of Wing sits nestled along the eastern edge, while the Vieley Bridge provides a documented crossing of the North Fork. Smaller tributaries like Fivemile Cr, Indian Cr, and the appropriately named Felky Slough further articulate the drainage patterns of this central Illinois prairie land.
