2016 Map of Rosedale

About this map

Otter Creek and its many branches, including the North Branch Otter Creek, dominate the drainage patterns north of Terre Haute. This landscape is defined by its transition from the more urbanized northern reaches of the city to the small unincorporated communities of Markles, Burnett, and Fontanet. A notable concentration of small family and community cemeteries, such as Rukes Cem, Haven Cem, and Moses Cem, are scattered throughout the agricultural and wooded areas, offering valuable markers for local genealogical research. The northern portion of the map includes the town of Rosedale and the Parke-Vigo county line, while the infrastructure of the region is highlighted by Sky King Airport and the recreational Forest Park Swimming Pool. A complex network of drainage ditches, like Cox Number One Ditch and Gundy Ditch, illustrates the intensive land management required for this part of Indiana.
