About this map

Bloomington serves as the central hub of this survey, anchored by the expansive campus of Indiana University and its proximity to several residential developments such as Ridgemede and Broadview. The landscape transitions from the urban core to suburban neighborhoods like Highland Village and Forest-Park Heights, while the northwestern corner is marked by the town of Ellettsville. This record captures a period of modern infrastructure supporting a growing university community, from the Monroe County Airport at the western edge to the recreational waters of Griffy Reservoir and University Lake in the northeast.

Water systems play a defining role in the local geography, with drainage networks such as Jacks Defeat Creek, Stout Creek, and Beanblossom Creek carving through the terrain. Notable landmarks for genealogical research include Rose Hill Cemetery and Valhalla Memory Gardens. Industrial and transit history is reflected in names like Hunter Switch, while the southern reaches show established communities like Sunny Slopes and Garden Acres.
