Put this at the end of your ~/.cshrc and when you're in Terminal, it will show you the current directory you are in.
alias setprompt 'set prompt = "`pwd` > "'
alias cd 'chdir \!* && setprompt'
alias pushd 'pushd \!* && setprompt'
alias popd 'popd \!* && setprompt'
setprompt

alias cd 'chdir \!* && setprompt'
alias pushd 'pushd \!* && setprompt'
alias popd 'popd \!* && setprompt'

A helpful hint here...but with a slight alteration. The above should go above the endif at the bottom of the ~/cshrc file [or the end of /etc/cshrc.std file.
Not to mention you can really spice up your prompt in Terminal. With a few bits of addition, you can have a user name displayed, along with the current directory. Screenshots attached.

I still have these aliases -- from 1990 -- in my .cshrc file. And yes I still use tcsh.
I have a bunch of 30+ year old stuff in my shell config that I just can't bring myself to remove. :D
Code Select
#alias cd 'set old=$cwd;chdir \!*;set prompt="[%n@%m:$cwd]"'
#alias cd- 'set temp=$cwd;chdir $old;set prompt="[%n@%m:$cwd]";set old=$temp'
#alias cd 'set old=$cwd;chdir \!*'
#alias cd- 'set temp=$cwd;chdir $old;set old=$temp'
