2012 Map of Vermont

About this map

Vermont serves as the central hub of this agricultural region in western Illinois, where the grid of rural roads meets the winding courses of Sugar Cr and Otter Cr. The village is surrounded by a high density of small family and community burial grounds, such as Union Chapel Cem and Laurel Hill Cem, which suggest a long history of local settlement and genealogical depth. Modern developments like the Richmond Airport and Vermont New Lake sit alongside older landmarks, including Foster Point Cem and Miles Cem. The drainage patterns of Wolfden Br and Francis Cr define the landscape, illustrating how the region's topography influenced the placement of early homesteads and the eventual established township road network.
