2015 Map of Humrick

About this map

The Little Vermilion River and the Vermilion River carve through the landscape along the Illinois and Indiana border, creating distinct topographical landmarks like Devils Backbone and Deadmans Hollow. This area near Georgetown is characterized by its numerous family and community burial grounds, providing a significant resource for genealogical research. Notable sites include Yankee Point Cem, Elwood Cem, and Bethel Cem, which sit among the undulating terrain between the river valleys. The settlement of Humrick serves as a central point in this rural corridor, while the Salt Fork and Jonathan Cr drain the southwestern portion of the map. The landscape is further defined by a transition into Edgar County to the south, where the drainage of Yankee Br and Whippoorwill Br influences the local geography.
