About this map

Urbana serves as the focal point of this western Champaign County landscape, anchored by the Champaign County Courthouse and Urbana University. The terrain transitions from the developed streets of the county seat into a rural expanse defined by the Mad River corridor. A significant ecological feature, the Cedar Swamp, lies preserved near the river's path, illustrating the specialized wetlands that once characterized this part of Ohio.

Genealogists will find a high density of family and community burial sites scattered throughout the townships, including Nettle Creek Cem, Shockey Cem, and Rector Cem. Smaller settlements such as Westville, Terre Haute, and Bowlusville are linked by a network of historic routes like the Old Troy Pike. To the south, the Mad River Airpark and the residential growth of Northridge signal more contemporary land use patterns as the area approaches the Clark County line.
