1952 Map of Carmel

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

Carmel and the surrounding rural landscape of Hamilton and Marion counties sit at a point of transition in the early 1950s. While established settlements like Eagle Village and Augusta maintain their historic character, the southern portion of the map shows the northward growth of Indianapolis. This expansion is particularly evident in the residential developments of Meridian Hills and the riverside communities of Ravenswood and Shore Acres along the White River. The era's transportation network is anchored by the Chicago Indianapolis and Louisville RR and the Pennsylvania RR, which cut through the fertile farmland of Clay and Pike townships.
