About this map

Cumberland serves as the focal point for this suburban and agricultural landscape on the outskirts of Indianapolis during the early 21st century. The map reveals a transition from dense residential developments like Warren Hills and Bells Run to the more open, drain-laced fields of Mount Comfort and Gem. A complex network of artificial waterways, including Steele Ditch, Heinrich Ditch, and Jay Ditch, illustrates the extensive hydrological management required to maintain the region's agricultural and residential land.

Transport and recreation are key features of the local economy, marked by the presence of the Indianapolis Regional Airport and several major fairways such as Maple Creek Golf Course and Augusta Hills Golf Course. Small natural waterways like Buck Cr and Grassy Cr still meander through the growing grid of streets, providing a baseline for the area's original topography before the modern expansion of Oaklandon and its surrounding neighborhoods.
