Middle Fork Vermilion River
The Middle Fork of the Vermilion River is a tributary of the Vermilion River (Wabash River tributary) in Illinois. The Middle Fork rises in Ford County and flows southeast to join the Vermilion near Danville.
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 77 miles (124 km) long.

Swarm from the little blue of the horizon
To the great blue of the middle height.”

“Wherever a man separates from the multitude, and goes his own way in this mood, there indeed is a fork in the road, though ordinary travelers may see only a gap in the paling. His solitary path across lots will turn out the higher way of the two.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“You scour the Bowery, ransack the Bronx,
Through funeral parlors and honky-tonks.
From river to river you comb the town
For a place to lay your family down.”
