2009 Map of Vermillion

About this map

Vermillion and Vliets occupy the northern reaches of this Marshall County landscape, where the Black Vermillion River and its North Fork define the local drainage pattern. The settlement at Vermillion is situated along the river's path, near the Vermillion Cemetery, while the small community of Vliets lies to the west. Further south, the rural character of the area is emphasized by dispersed landmarks like Sullivan and the Morrison Cemetery near Ackerman Creek. A network of section-line roads, including Tumbleweed Rd and Valley Rd, connects these remote outposts across a terrain shaped by the winding courses of Irish Creek, Cedar Creek, and the Kearney Branch. This geographic record captures the enduring agricultural layout and quiet river-valley settlements typical of the Kansas prairie in the early 21st century.
