2023 Map of Thackery

About this map

St. Paris and the rural villages of Thackery and Terre Haute anchor this landscape along the border of Champaign and Clark Counties. The terrain is defined by the drainage networks of Chapman Creek, Deer Creek, and the East Fork Donnels Creek, which carve through the agricultural heartland. This area maintains a high density of early pioneer and family burial sites, offering significant value for genealogists tracing local lineage. Notable locations include the Newsom Chapel Cem and the Helvie Family Cem, alongside established community hubs like Dialton and Darnell. The transport network relies on historic thoroughfares such as the Old Troy Pike and Ballentine Pike, which connect the scattered farmsteads and rural churches that have characterized this portion of western Ohio for generations.
