Middle Fork Vermilion River
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Middle Fork of the Vermilion River is a tributary of the Vermilion River (Wabash River tributary). The Middle Fork arises in Ford County, Illinois and flows southeast to join the Vermilion near Danville, Illinois.
In its natural state, the Middle Fork drained a large upland marsh in what is now Ford County. The Middle Fork has been extended into the marsh by drainage ditches. Including the ditches, the Middle Fork is about 58 miles long.
