2012 Map of Potomac

About this map

The Middle Fork Vermilion River meanders across this Vermilion County landscape, defining the rural character of the region. This 2012 survey illustrates the enduring agricultural grid system, punctuated by several historic river crossings such as Bass Ford, Gray Ford, and Selsor Ford. These points provide significant insight into the historical movement of goods and people before modern infrastructure fully bridged the waterway. The settlement of Jamesburg sits at the eastern edge, while the central hub of Potomac is detailed with its local street names like N May St and N Lane St. Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial sites throughout the township, including the Potomac Cem, Ingersoll Cem, Wallace Chapel Cem, and the remote Old Partlow Cem. The drainage patterns of Bluegrass Cr and Bean Cr further delineate the local topography.
