About this map

Vermontville anchors the southeastern corner of this landscape, serving as a primary point of settlement where the Vermontville Post Office and Vermontville Cemetery are situated. The area is defined by a dense cluster of glacial lakes in the north, including Saubee Lake, Lookingglass Lake, and Tamarock Lake, which feed into the winding course of Mud Creek. This hydrological pattern suggests a terrain shaped by post-glacial drainage, creating a patchwork of small basins and wetlands interspersed with a strictly rectangular road grid.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family-named landmarks and rural burial grounds throughout the countryside. Several historic cemeteries, such as Woodland Cemetery, Hagar Cemetery, and Hosmer Cemetery, are scattered across the townships, often positioned near the headwaters of local streams like Scipio Creek and Hagar Creek. The presence of Law Field Airport near the eastern edge provides a modern reference point amidst the long-established agricultural and homesteading footprints of the region.
