About this map

Terre Haute and its eastern suburbs are shown at a moment of modern transition, where established neighborhoods meet the legacy of historic infrastructure. The northern portion is defined by the sprawling campus of the Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology and the massive Highland Lawn Cem, while the Terre Haute International Airport-Hulman Field occupies a central position on the landscape. This area is characterized by several small communities such as Seelyville, Swalls, and East Glenn that serve as residential nodes between the city and the surrounding countryside.

Evidence of early 19th-century transport survives in the trace of the Wabash and Erie Canal, which winds through the southern terrain near Riley. This corridor is marked by a series of water features including Patton Lake and Honey Creek. The map provides a look at the genealogy of the region through numerous small family and community burial grounds, such as Chamberlain Cem, Mewhinney Cem, and Rogers Cem, scattered among the residential developments and agricultural fields.
