2013 Map of New Goshen

About this map

Saint Mary-of-the-Woods anchors the southern portion of this landscape west of the Wabash River, where the historic Wabash and Erie Canal traces a path near Otter Cr. This area north of Terre Haute is defined by a dense network of small communities such as New Goshen, Shepardsville, and Spelterville, illustrating the persistent small-town character of the Indiana-Illinois borderlands. Industrial history is etched into the terrain through features like the Pine Ridge Mine Pond and Grant Mine Pond, which indicate the region's legacy of coal extraction. In the southeast, the grid of Terre Town and Parkview shows the residential expansion near Sky King Airport. The drainage patterns of Brouilletts Cr and Coal Cr carve through the topography, leading toward the prominent elevation of Pottsville Hill overlooking the river valley.
