2019 Map of Thackery

About this map

St. Paris anchors the northern boundary of this western Ohio landscape, where the transition between Champaign and Clark counties is defined by a dense network of headwater streams and family-named cemeteries. Small rural centers like Thackery, Terre Haute, and Dialton are linked by a grid of early thoroughfares such as Old Troy Pike and Cow Path Rd. This 2019 survey documents a landscape where agricultural drainage and natural hydrology coexist, visible in the winding course of Donnels Cr and the engineered Thackery Ditch. Local history is deeply etched into the land through numerous burial sites, including Newsom Chapel Cem, Jenking Kite Cem, and Beech Grove Cem. The presence of Reeds Airport and the corridor of US Rte 36 reflect the continued importance of transportation in this primarily rural township setting.
