About this map

Rossville sits at the northern edge of this Vermilion County landscape, where the Chicago and Eastern Illinois Railroad branches toward the south and southeast. This 1960s survey captures a rural Illinois corridor defined by the meandering courses of the North Fork Vermilion River and the Middle Fork Vermilion River. Between these waterways, the village of Henning serves as a central hub, flanked by its own High Sch and the surrounding township of South Ross.

Transport patterns from earlier eras remain visible through features like the Old Railroad Grade near Rayville and the industrial activity at a Gravel Pit along the riverbanks. Local history and genealogy interest is anchored by landmarks such as the Manns Chapel and several rural Cem sites. Small crossroads settlements like Moores Corner and Jamesburg reflect the dispersed agricultural community structure of the mid-20th century.
