About this map

Beech Grove and the northern reaches of Greenwood dominate this 2016 snapshot of the suburban landscape southeast of Indianapolis. The terrain is a complex network of residential developments and historic burial grounds, with several family and community plots including the Kemper Family Cem, New Crown Cem, and the Deutsch Evangelical Cem. These sites provide significant genealogical markers amidst the modern sprawl and the busy corridors of I-465 and I-65.

Water management is central to the area's geography, evidenced by numerous named drainage features like Sloan Ditch, Henninger Ditch, and Grubbs Ditch that weave through the neighborhoods. Small settlements such as Wanamaker and Five Points maintain their identity alongside larger infrastructure like the Greenwood Municipal Airport, illustrating the evolution from rural township sections into a densely populated metropolitan fringe.
