About this map

Potomac and its surrounding agricultural lands in Vermilion County are defined by a complex network of waterways, including the winding course of the Middle Fork Vermilion River and Bluegrass Cr. This area maintains its rural character with small settlements like Armstrong to the west and Jamesburg to the southeast, connected by the local road network including W State ST and Potomac Collison RD.

Genealogists will find substantial value in the high density of rural burial grounds documented across the township. From the Potomac Cem near the town center to more isolated sites such as Old Partlow Cem, Ingersoll Cem, and Wallace Chapel Cem, these landmarks preserve the footprint of pioneer families and early farming communities. The landscape is further etched by smaller tributaries like Bean Cr and Knights Br, illustrating the historical reliance on natural drainage in this central Illinois prairie region.
