1966 Map of Bridgeport

About this map

The Indianapolis International Airport serves as a dominant anchor in this landscape, surrounded by suburban growth moving west into Hendricks County. This era is defined by the expansion of neighborhoods like Mickleyville and Sterling Heights, alongside the industrial development of the Conrail lines. Despite the suburbanization, the map preserves the older rural character of the area, visible in the cluster of institutions such as Decatur Central High Sch and School No 15. To the south, the terrain follows the winding course of the West Fork White River toward Mooresville, where family-named landmarks like Paddock Run and Quack Branch delineate the shifting edge between city and country. This survey records the exact moment when smaller crossroad settlements like Six Points and Camby began to merge into the expanding Indianapolis metropolitan footprint.
