About this map

Beech Grove and the southeastern reaches of Indianapolis are defined by a complex intersection of suburban growth and historical landmarks. This 2010 survey shows a landscape heavily partitioned by major expressways, yet punctuated by numerous family and community burial grounds that predate the modern residential expansion. Notable sites for local history include the Deutsch Evangelical Cemetery, Blackwell Cemetery, and Ebenezer Cemetery, which sit alongside established neighborhoods like Wanamaker and Southport.

Aviation and recreation are central to the area's layout, with Skyway Airport and Post-Aire Airport serving the region, while the Marion County Fairgrounds and several golf courses, such as Smock Golf Course, provide significant open space. A dense network of local creeks, including Lick Creek and Little Buck Creek, continue to channel through the developing townships, tracing the original drainage patterns of Marion County.
