About this map

Carmel and Zionsville anchor this 2019 survey, showcasing a landscape of dense residential development and suburban growth along the Hamilton and Marion County line. The map highlights the transformation of former rail corridors into recreation, most notably the Monon Trail, which cuts a linear path through Home Place and Orchard Park. This transition from industrial infrastructure to community greenways is a central theme, as modern neighborhoods like Westchester Estates and Delaware Trails fill the spaces between historic established settlements.

Legacy landmarks remain visible amid the suburban expansion, including several well-preserved cemeteries such as Poplar Ridge Cem and Pleasant Grove Cem. The natural drainage of the area is still defined by Little Eagle Creek and the White River, though many smaller tributaries like Williams Creek and Crooked Cr now flow through manicured residential areas. From the planned streets of Meridian Hills to the older clusters at Augusta and New Augusta, the map captures the late-2010s suburban character of the northern Indianapolis metro area.
