2022 Map of Saint Bernice

About this map

St. Bernice and Blanford anchor the eastern edge of this Vermillion County landscape along the Indiana-Illinois border. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Brouilletts Creek, which meanders through the central and southern portions of the quadrangle, joined by tributaries like Coal Cr. and Crabapple Creek. This modern survey reveals a dense concentration of family and community burial grounds, such as the Stafford Crimmons Cem and Saint Aloysius Cem, which offer significant genealogical data for researchers of the border region. The settlement pattern remains largely agricultural, with clusters of development at Jonestown and West Clinton, while the eastern boundary is further shaped by the Horseshoe Lakes near the state line. The map effectively traces the transition from the rolling drainage basins of the creek system to the organized grid of rural roads and small towns.
