About this map

Staunton and Seelyville anchor this 2010 study of the landscape east of Terre Haute, where the topography is defined by numerous small waterways and scattered rural settlements. The map documents several prairie-named regions such as Wheeler Prairie and Clay Prairie, reflecting the historical transition of the land. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of burial grounds across the township, including German Cemetery, Rhule Cemetery, and Summit Lawn Cemetery.

Water flows primarily through a network of creeks and branches, notably Honey Creek in the west and the wandering paths of Prairie Creek and Crooked Creek further east. The transition from established towns like Turner and Cherryvale to smaller localities like Art and Cory illustrates the local settlement patterns. Transport is dominated by a grid of county roads and historic routes like Bloomington Rd and W Lower Bloomington Rd.
