About this map

Indianapolis and its western suburbs are intricately detailed in this mid-2010s survey, showing a landscape where heavy urban development meets historic university campuses and significant commemorative grounds. The White River winds through the center-right, defining the boundaries of residential areas like Rocky Ripple and Broad Ripple. Notable educational institutions, including Butler University and Marian College, are clearly delineated alongside modern vocational centers like Ivy Tech Community College.

The vast grounds of Crown Hill National Cemetery provide a focal point for researchers, containing the Grave of President Harrison. The map also captures the remnant ecology of Bacon Swamp and the drainage network of Eagle Creek and Fall Creek. Neighborhoods such as Speedway, Lynhurst, and Meridian Hills reflect the suburban expansion of the capital, while surviving cemeteries like Salem Cemetery and West Union Cemetery mark the historic footprint of earlier Marion County communities.
