1998 Map of Beech Grove
USGS Topo · Published 2002About this map
Beech Grove and the expanding suburbs of southeastern Indianapolis are defined by a complex network of transportation and community institutions at the end of the century. The heavy industrial footprint of the Conrail lines contrasts with the residential growth spreading through Franklin and Perry townships. Local history is anchored by long-standing religious and educational centers, including Holy Name Sch & Ch and the expansive grounds of St Francis Hospital. The landscape transitions from the dense urban grid of Indianapolis in the northwest toward more dispersed settlements like Wanamaker and Five Points. Natural drainage features like Lick Creek and Buck Creek provide a winding counterpoint to the rigid Interstate interchanges and modern infrastructure developments that characterize this era of Indiana's urban expansion.
