The township contains the entire incorporated community of Curran, and a very small portion of Chatham. The township originally corresponded to the entire survey township 15 North, Range 6 West of the third principal meridian, but owing to annexations into Capital Township due to the westward expansion of the City of Springfield, its area has been considerably reduced. In what was formerly the eastern part of the township, various small unincorporated enclaves remain in the township but are surrounded by Capital Township.[4]
