About this map

The North Fork Vermilion River carves a winding path across this late-1990s landscape, serving as a central geographic feature in a region defined by agricultural plots and rural townships like Pleasant Ridge and Saunemin. Small aviation fields, such as Immke Landing Strip and Fosdick Landing Strip, dot the prairie, highlighting a modern era of private transport integrated into the traditional farmstead grid.

Genealogists can find several burial sites including St Johns Cem and the North Apostolic Christian Cem. The southern edge of the survey captures the northern expansion of Forrest and the Fairbury Corp Bdy, while the settlement of Wing remains a distinct point of interest to the east. Waterways like Fivemile Creek and Indian Creek feed into the larger river system, shaping the drainage patterns of this fertile Illinois terrain.
