1955 Map of Humrick

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

The Vermilion River and Little Vermilion River define this mid-1950s borderland where Illinois meets Indiana. The landscape is marked by the winding watercourses of the Horseshoe Bend and sharp relief features like the Devils Backbone. The eastern portion of the map is dominated by the townships of Eugene and Vermilion, where the Chicago and St Louis railroad cuts through the terrain. For local historians, the sheet preserves the locations of rural landmarks such as Brown Cem and Patrick Cem, alongside several small tributaries like Whippoorwill Br and Coal Br. The intricate contouring around Deadmans Hollow illustrates the erosion patterns typical of this river valley system before modern development or agricultural shifts altered the smaller drainage paths like Dry Br.
