1948 Map of Beech Grove
USGS Topo · Published 1948About this map
The rail-oriented town of Beech Grove and the expanding southeastern suburbs of Indianapolis define the character of this 1946 survey. A massive yard for the Indianapolis Union RR dominates the landscape near Beech Grove, illustrating the heavy industrial and logistical importance of the area shortly after the war. Surrounding these hubs are several smaller communities, including Southport, New Bethel, and Five Points, which retain a distinctly semi-rural character marked by country churches like Henninger Ch and local education centers such as Lowell Sch.
