2019 Map of Rosedale

About this map

Otter Creek Junction sits as a central point in this landscape where Otter Creek and its various branches, including the North Branch Otter Creek, define the local drainage patterns. The transition from the rural northern edge of Terre Haute into the surrounding agricultural and industrial outskirts is marked by numerous small settlements and family-named cemeteries. To the north, Rosedale and the twin hamlets of Atherton and West Atherton bridge the border between Parke and Vigo counties. A dense network of local ditches like Swope Ditch and Gundy Ditch suggests a heavily managed water table, common in this part of Indiana to support both farming and suburban expansion. Other notable landmarks include the Sky King Airport and the sprawling Roselawn Memorial Park, which together with smaller burial sites like Kennedy Cem and Moses Cem, provide significant touchpoints for local genealogical research.
