1967 Map of Indianapolis East

About this map

Fort Benjamin Harrison Military Reservation anchors the northeastern corner of this 1960s landscape, illustrating the intersection of military, industrial, and suburban expansion in Marion County. The eastern edge of Indianapolis is characterized by a dense grid of residential streets and numerous local schools, including Booth Tarkington Sch No 92 and Arlington Woods Sch No 99, reflecting mid-century population growth. Transport infrastructure is prominent, with the Norfolk and Western and Penn Central railroads cutting through neighborhoods toward the massive Hawthorne Yards. Small, long-established communities like Millersville and Brendonwood sit alongside newer developments like Avalon Hills. Natural features such as Fall Creek and Pogue's Run provide a counterpoint to the urban sprawl, winding through recreational spaces like the Hillcrest Country Club and Brookside Park.
