About this map

Indianapolis International Airport dominates the central landscape of this western Marion County survey, where the expanding infrastructure of the airport and Interstate 70 meets the historic agricultural roots of the Indiana countryside. The map documents a corridor of suburban transition between Indianapolis and Plainfield, yet preserves the locations of established communities like Bridgeport and West Newton.

Genealogists will find significant value in the detailed plotting of local burial grounds, including the West Newton Friends Cem and Fairfield Friends Cem, reflecting the area's Quaker heritage. Numerous small watercourses such as White Lick Creek, Dollar Hide Cr, and Paddack Run traverse the terrain, showing the drainage patterns that shaped early settlement long before the massive development of the modern transportation hub at Six Points and Mickleyville.
