About this map

Sidell serves as the primary hub of this eastern Illinois landscape, situated at the junction of W Dickson St and N Chicago St. The surrounding countryside is defined by an orderly grid of section roads and several small settlements including Jamaica in the north and Maizetown to the east. The terrain is drained by the Little Vermilion River and its tributaries, such as Jordan Cr and Baum Br, which cut through the agricultural fields.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several rural landmarks that speak to the area's social history, including the Miller School and three distinct burial grounds: Stunkard Cem, Lebanon Cem, and Fairview Cem. In the northwest, the Maddox Airport and the small hamlet of Archie add to the geographic record of Vermilion County. The network of drainage features like Archie Cr and Dillon Br illustrates the managed hydrology of this prairie region.
