1967 Map of Fishers

About this map

The White River and Fall Creek anchor this landscape of rapid suburbanization along the border of Hamilton and Marion Counties. By the late 1960s, the rural character of northern Indianapolis was shifting toward a series of planned neighborhoods like Northwood Hills, Devonshire, and Avalon Hills, while established crossroads such as Castleton and Allisonville were becoming major hubs of development. Cultural and historical landmarks are well-documented, including the Conner Prairie Museum on the river’s eastern bank and the historic White Chapel Cem. The map illustrates the infrastructure supporting this growth, from the Norfolk and Western railroad corridor to the Indianapolis Metropolitan Airport. Military presence is noted at the southern edge with a portion of the Fort Benjamin Harrison Mil Res, while local community life is reflected in several country churches like Union Chapel and Antioch Ch.
