1998 Map of Sandford

About this map

Vermilion and Sandford anchor this landscape along the Illinois-Indiana border, where the townships of Stratton, Clinton, and Fayette meet. The terrain is defined by a series of waterways, including the winding course of Sugar Creek and its tributaries like Indian Creek and McCalls Branch. The 1998 photoinspection reveals a rural infrastructure marked by numerous Gas Storage Wells and a Pumping Station, indicating the industrial significance of the subsurface resources in Elbridge and surrounding areas. For those tracing local heritage, the map identifies several country houses of worship such as Little Grove Ch and Pisgah Ch, alongside scattered family and community burial grounds like Blackburn Cem, Pryor Cem, and Stults Cem. The southern portion of the map includes the Green Valley State Fishing Area, showing the repurposed landscape at the Green Valley Mine Pond.
