2012 Map of Georgetown

About this map

The Little Vermilion River snakes across this portion of Vermilion County, defining the rural landscape between the agricultural hubs of Indianola and Georgetown. The terrain is marked by a high density of family and community burial grounds, including Sandusky Cem, Weaver Cem, and Michael Cem, which serve as vital markers for genealogical research in this part of Illinois. The town of Georgetown is shown with its full street grid, anchored by the Georgetown Reservoir to the south. Further south, the settlements of Olivet, Vermilion Grove, and Ridge Farm follow a north-south transit corridor. Small drainage systems like Fayette Drain and Fairview Drain cut through the fields, illustrating the intricate water management required for the region's productive farmland. The map captures these established communities and their surrounding rural infrastructure, from the Crown Hill Cem near Ridge Farm to the outlying area of Mabel near the southern border.
