2012 Map of Vergennes

About this map

The village of Vergennes serves as the primary hub of this Southern Illinois landscape, where the flat agricultural terrain is segmented by a dense network of country roads. Much of the local geography is defined by the winding course of Beaucoup Cr and its tributaries, including Walkers Cr and Youngs Cr, which drain the surrounding fields. For genealogists and local historians, the sheet is particularly valuable for its documentation of numerous small family and community burial grounds, such as the Russian Orthodox Cem and Vancil Cem, scattered across the countryside.
