2019 Map of Sandford

About this map

Sandford sits along the state line in this contemporary survey, serving as a focal point for a region defined by its dispersed agricultural communities and complex county boundaries. The map documents the rural intersection of Edgar and Vermillion counties in Illinois with Vigo County in Indiana. This borderland landscape is dotted with ancestral burial grounds such as Fort Hamilton Cem and Blackburn Cem, alongside small settlements like Vermilion and Elbridge. The terrain is etched by the drainage patterns of Sugar Cr and W Little Sugar Cr, which dictate the placement of local roads like Sulphur Springs Rd. Evidence of the area's industrial past remains visible in features like the Green Valley Mine Pond, while the legacy of early religious life is preserved at sites like the Old Baptist Cem and Little Grove Cem.
