About this map

Thackery and the neighboring hamlets of Terre Haute and Dialton anchor this agricultural landscape in Champaign County. The terrain is defined by a dense network of small waterways, including Blacksnake Creek, Chapman Creek, and Owens Creek, which dictate the placement of the early road system. For genealogists, the map is remarkably dense with burial sites, featuring over a dozen named grounds such as Evergreen Cemetery, Myrtle Tree Cemetery, and the curiously named Mammal Cemetery near the southern boundary.

Smaller crossroads like Windy Corner and Seth Corners illustrate the historical settlement pattern of rural Ohio, where community life centered around local churches and family cemeteries. Significant transit corridors like Old Troy Pike and Thackery Rd cut across the drainage of Thackery Ditch and Donnels Creek, while Reeds Airport provides a modern landmark among the traditional farmsteads and rural routes.
