About this map

Beech Grove and the southeastern suburbs of Indianapolis are characterized by a dense network of suburban development and industrial infrastructure during this 2019 survey. The landscape is defined by the intersection of major transportation corridors, with the heavy rail lines of the Big Four and several significant drainage features like Lick Creek and Pleasant Run Creek influencing the local geography. The area transitions south into Southport and Greenwood, showing a high degree of connectivity between these residential centers.

Genealogists and local historians can locate numerous established burial grounds throughout the quadrangle, including the historic Southport Cemetery and New Crown Cemetery. Small airports such as Post Air Airport and Indy South Greenwood Airport anchor the northern and southern portions of the sheet, reflecting the region's long-standing aviation history. The map also records the many ditches and brooks, such as Miller Ditch and Wildcat Brook, that have been engineered to manage the drainage of this developed Indiana terrain.
