2021 Map of Potomac

About this map

Potomac and the surrounding township in eastern Illinois are defined by the meandering course of the Middle Fork Vermilion River, which carves through the local agricultural landscape. This modern survey illustrates a rural environment where legacy family and community landmarks remain central to the geography, particularly through its well-preserved cemeteries such as Wallace Chapel Cem, Ingersoll Cem, and the Old Partlow Cem. These sites, along with smaller settlements like Armstrong and Jamesburg, speak to a long history of local settlement and genealogical continuity in Vermilion County.
