About this map

Urbana and its western rural surroundings are defined by the wide corridor of the Mad River, which bisects this landscape from north to south. The western reaches of the city host Urbana Univ and the Mad River-Inc Airport, reflecting the area's development as an educational and transit hub. To the west, the terrain rises into the highlands above the river valley, where small rural settlements like Westville, Terre Haute, and Gentis Farms are scattered among a network of family and community cemeteries, including Nettle Creek Cem, Snider Cem, and Shockey Cem.

Southward, the landscape transitions into the rolling terrain of Pretty Prairie and the community of Tremont City. This 2013 survey illustrates a complex water system of winding creeks such as Nettle Cr, Bogles Run, and Chapman Cr, which feed the river. The boundary between Champaign Co and Clark Co cuts across the lower third of the map, linking the small hamlets of Bowlusville and Glen Echo within this agricultural and riverine environment.
