About this map

The Fort Benjamin Harrison Military Reservation dominates the northeastern corner of this Marion County landscape, anchoring a period of significant mid-century suburban expansion. The sprawling eastern suburbs of Indianapolis are meticulously detailed, showing the dense grid of residential streets alongside the major industrial and transit corridors of the Norfolk and Western and Conrail railroads. These lines intersect with the Indianapolis Corp Bdy, marking the edge of the city’s post-war growth into communities like Warren Park and Lawrence.

Educational and religious institutions serve as neighborhood anchors, from Arlington High School to numerous numbered city schools like Hendricks Sch No 31. The natural geography of the White River watershed is traced through Fall Creek and Pogue Run, which cut through the urban grid. Researchers will find a mix of public and private history, from the U S Naval Reservation to established burial grounds like Memorial Park Cemetery and Sutherland Park Cem.
