VERMILION COUNTY. 



GENERAL STATEMENT. 



Vermilion County is situated on the east border of the State, about 

 midway of the east line, and has an area of 926 square miles, with Danville 

 as the county seat. It is drained mainly by Wabash-Vermilion River, whose 

 North Fork leads through the northeastern part of the county, the Middle 

 Fork through the northwestern, and Salt Fork through the western. The 

 south border of the county is drained eastward through Little Vermilion 

 River and the extreme northwest border is drained northward to the 

 Iroquois River. 



The north-central portion of the county is occupied by the Blooming- 

 ton morainic system, which is here differentiated into two -belts, each of 

 which in places presents a double ridge. The south border of the county is 

 traversed by the Champaign morainic system, whose main ridge lies south 

 of Little Vermilion River, but which has a minor ridge leading eastward 

 across the county a few miles farther north than this stream. 



In the southern half of the county the drift is generally of shallow 

 depth, rock being entered frequently at 30 or 40 feet, or even less. In the 

 northern half of the county the thickness is much greater. The few bor- 

 ings of which records were obtained indicate that it may average not less
