About this map

St. Mary of the Woods and its neighbor Saint Mary-of-the-Woods anchor the southwestern corner of this Vigo County landscape, where the college grounds and Saint Marys Lake sit nestled between Little Sugar Cr and Coal Creek. The terrain is defined by the winding Wabash River, which is paralleled by the historical path of the Wabash and Erie Canal to the east. The legacy of local industry is visible in the scattered water-filled pits of the Pine Ridge Mine Pond and Grant Mine Pond near Pine Ridge, marking former coal extraction sites.

Several small settlements dot the rural landscape, including New Goshen, Shepardsville, and Tecumseh, while the northern reaches of Terre Haute begin to appear in the southeast. Historical markers like Barbour Cem and Pleasantview Cem provide points of interest for genealogists, while Sky King Airport and Pottsville Hill stand as prominent local landmarks. The area's hydrology is complex, with Brouilletts Creek and S Salt Cr cutting through the northern townships before joining the Wabash valley.
