About this map

The boundary between Hamilton and Marion County reveals a rapidly diversifying suburban landscape in the late 1960s, punctuated by purple-tinted updates from the late 1970s. The northern sector is anchored by Carmel, while the southern portion transitions into the residential developments of Meridian Hills and Washington Township. Significant institutional footprints include the sprawling State Sch for the Blind and several parochial and public institutions like Brebeuf Sch and North Central High Sch.

Transportation and utility networks define the era, with the Louisville and Nashville RR cutting through the terrain and the White River framing the southeastern corner. Emerging residential additions like Home Place, Orchard Park, and Sherwood Forest reflect post-war growth patterns. For local historians, the presence of older markers like Poplar Ridge Cem and the settlement of Eagle Village alongside modern infrastructure provides a clear view of the area's mid-century transformation.
