About this map

The western edge of Brazil and its surrounding coal-country townships define this landscape at the start of the 2010s. The region is characterized by a dense network of small unincorporated communities and named settlements such as Coal Bluff, Fontanet, and Bee Ridge, reflecting the historical settlement patterns of Clay and Vigo counties. While the urban grid of Brazil occupies the southeastern corner, much of the quadrangle is defined by the winding paths of Otter Creek and its many tributaries, including North Branch Otter Creek and Little Creek.

A notable geographic feature of this area is the prevalence of pits and reclaimed water bodies, such as Water Works Lake and Morey Lake, which hint at the region's long industrial history. Further west, the map details the terrain around Cloverland and Billtown along the southern corridor, while northern settlements like Diamond and Wickville anchor the rural crossroads. This survey provides a clear view of the modern road network, from named county roads to the residential streets of Shady Lane.
