2018 Map of Humrick

About this map

Georgetown and the village of Humrick anchor this landscape along the state line where Illinois meets Indiana. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Vermilion River and Little Vermilion River, which carve through the land to create distinctive natural features like Devils Backbone and the shadowy Deadmans Hollow. This survey provides a modern view of rural life in Vermilion County, where agricultural fields are punctuated by numerous family and community burial grounds including Yankee Point Cem, Elwood Church Cem, and Whitlock Cem. The southern edge of the map transitions into Edgar County near the Salt Fork, showing the established road network that links smaller settlements like Bethel and Meeks to the larger regional hubs. The geography here is a complex web of small tributaries such as Yankee Br and Whippoorwill Br that feed into the larger river system, shaping the development and property lines of the surrounding townships.
