Richland Creek and its many tributaries, including Brush Creek and Howe Creek, carve a distinct drainage pattern across this Shelby County landscape. Small rural communities are dispersed throughout the township divisions, with Stewardson situated at the southern edge and Strasburg to the northeast. These settlements serve as hubs for a network of country roads like Clarksburg Road and County Highway 32 that connect the isolated farmsteads typical of the Illinois prairie.
