2024 Map of Rankin
USGS Topo · Published 2024About this map
Rankin and Clarence sit at the intersection of several county lines where the East-Central Illinois prairie transitions into the drainage basins of the Middle Fork Vermilion River. This modern survey reveals a landscape deeply defined by its agricultural grid and the subtle waterways that crisscross it, including Sugar Creek, Pigeon Creek, and Whisky Creek. The placement of numerous small burial grounds, such as Union Cem, Pellville Cem, and Patton Cem, suggests the locations of earlier rural communities and family homesteads that once anchored these townships. The intricate road network, composed of numerical rural routes like Co Rd 3600 N and N 270 E Rd, provides a precise framework for locating specific historical parcels and property lines across Ford, Iroquois, Vermilion, and Champaign counties.
