Welcome to the Interactive Map for the Vermillion River Watershed Management Plan Update!    

The Vermillion River Watershed Joint Powers Organization (VRWJPO) is embarking on the 2026 update of its Watershed Management Plan. Over the past decade, VRWJPO staff and partners have accomplished many of the foundational projects recommended in the previous plan. With much of the low-hanging fruit picked, the next decade of work will likely involve tackling some of the more complex projects within the watershed. At this early stage in the update process, we would like to understand what issues and opportunities you feel are most important to explore. Your feedback will help ensure that surface water and groundwater are sustainably-stewarded and protected over the next decade.

Drag and drop the icons at the top of the screen to designate and comment on specific areas of interest, feel free to place multiple markers per category.  Categories are as follows:
