About this map

Fort Benjamin Harrison dominates the northeast quadrant of this mid-century landscape, serving as a primary military anchor for the growing Marion County suburbs. The area reflects a transitional post-war economy where aviation and industry are central, evidenced by the Brightwood Airport, Sky Harbor Airport, and the large Naval Ordnance Plant. Traditional residential nodes like Irvington and Millersville are clearly defined alongside a dense network of major transit lines, including the Pennsylvania Railroad and New York Central lines.
