1967 Map of Beech Grove

About this map

The city of Beech Grove and the southeastern outskirts of Indianapolis are documented here during a period of significant suburban expansion in Marion County. The landscape is defined by the heavy infrastructure of the Conrail rail lines and the intersection of major thoroughfares like Interstate 465 and Interstate 65. Amidst this mid-century growth, numerous parochial institutions such as Holy Name Sch and Our Lady of Grace Sch serve the local neighborhoods. Further south, the map transitions into the expanding residential developments of Southport and Greenwood, where the terrain is marked by the winding paths of Buck Creek and Pleasant Run. For genealogists and local historians, this survey provides a precise look at the placement of the New Crown Cemetery and St Johns Cem, as well as the early layouts of community anchors like the Indianapolis Tabernacle and Chartrand High Sch.
