About this map

Eagle Creek Reservoir dominates the central landscape of this western Marion County survey, reflecting a period of significant infrastructure development and suburban expansion. The reservoir is anchored by the Eagle Creek Dam and bordered by the sprawling Eagle Creek Park, illustrating the mid-century transformation of the local watershed. To the west, the Indianapolis Raceway Park and the Speedway Airport highlight the region's enduring connection to automotive and aviation culture.

Settlement patterns reveal a mix of established small-town identity in Clermont and newer residential developments like Farley's Addition and Keystone Manor. Institutional landmarks such as the Indiana Girls School and numerous local schools, including Ben Davis High Sch and Fulton Jr High Sch, serve as focal points for the growing community. The southern edge of the map features the massive rail infrastructure of the Big Four Yard, a critical node for Conrail operations in the Midwest.
