1956 Map of Indianapolis
USGS Topo · Published 1956About this map
The mid-century state capital and its surrounding central Indiana corridor are detailed in this 1956 mid-century survey. Indianapolis serves as the primary hub, surrounded by emerging suburbs like Speedway and Beech Grove, with Fort Benjamin Harrison anchoring the northeast. The landscape transitions from the urban center to the industrial and agricultural heartlands, where the Wabash River and White River systems define the drainage. Resource extraction is evident through numerous oil wells in the southwest and strip mines concentrated near Brazil.
