About this map

Cumberland stands at the heart of this landscape along the border of Marion and Hancock Counties, anchored by the historic thoroughfare of E Washington St. The area transitions from the suburban development of Lawrence and Warren Hills into the open fields and airport infrastructure of Mount Comfort. This 2016 survey documents a dense concentration of local family and community history, evidenced by numerous burial grounds such as Snider Cem, Arnett Cem, and Wesley Chapel Cem.

A complex drainage network of ditches and creeks, including Buck Cr and Jay Ditch, illustrates the engineering required for both agricultural and residential growth in this part of Indiana. Significant landmarks like the Indianapolis Regional Airport and the sprawl of Washington Park Cem East dominate the terrain, while smaller historic nodes like Oaklandon and Gem mark the persistence of earlier settlements alongside modern interstate corridors.
