About this map

Georgetown anchors the western edge of this survey where the Illinois prairie begins its descent into the wooded breaks of the Little Vermilion River. The landscape is a study in the intersection of rural agriculture and the winding river valleys of Vermilion County. In the southern reaches, the Salt Fork joins the drainage system near Bethel, a small settlement marked by its namesake Bethel Cem.

Genealogists will find a wealth of burial sites preserved across the landscape, from the Pilot Grove Cem in the southwest to the Patrick Cem in the east. Notable terrain features like Deadmans Hollow and the Devils Backbone illustrate the sharp relief created by the river's path, while the village of Humrick serves as a central point for the local road network connecting these scattered rural communities along the Indiana border.
