About this map

Greenwood and its surrounding communities are shown here during a period of significant suburban expansion south of Indianapolis. The map details the interconnected residential developments of New Whiteland, West Whiteland, and Whiteland, illustrating how modern infrastructure follows the paths of older agricultural drainages like Grassy Creek and Brewer Ditch. Local history is preserved in numerous family and community burial grounds, including Nolan Cemetery near Rocklane and the Hurricane Cemetery to the south.

The landscape is defined by a dense network of county roads and ditches that historically reclaimed this land for farming. Small local landmarks like Canarys Airport and the Valle Vista Golf Course sit alongside established institutions like the Whiteland Post Office. While modern transit corridors dominate the north-south axis, the winding courses of Hurricane Creek and Youngs Creek continue to shape the local topography around heights such as Polk Hill and Donalds Knoll.
