About this map

The Little Vermilion River winds through the central portion of this 2015 quadrangle, carving a low-lying valley across the Illinois landscape. The area is defined by a series of small agricultural settlements including Vermilion Grove, Olivet, and Indianola, which are connected by a grid of rural routes such as Catlin Indianola Rd. These communities maintain a visible history through a high density of local burial grounds, including Sharon Cem, Crown Hill Cem, and Pleasant Mount Cem, which are often the primary remaining landmarks of early rural hamlets.

To the north, the town of Georgetown shows a more developed street plan with corridors like Perreysville Ave and Mill St framing the community. The Georgetown Reservoir serves as a significant water feature just south of the town center, while smaller waterways like Fayette Drain and Swank Cr manage the drainage of the surrounding fields. The boundary between Vermilion County and Edgar County is visible at the southern edge, near the small community of Mabel.
