About this map

The White River and the Indianapolis Water Company Canal define the urban and residential geography of western Indianapolis in this recent survey. Within the grounds of the expansive Crown Hill National Cem, researchers can locate the Grave of President Harrison, a significant historical landmark situated amongst several prominent burial grounds including Salem Cem and Washington Park North Cem. The map illustrates the academic corridor stretching from Butler University and the Christian Theological Seminary down to the Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis campus near the downtown core.

Institutional and civic life is anchored by the Indiana State House and Supreme Courthouse and the City County Building. The landscape transitions from the dense grids of North Indianapolis and Mapleton to the distinct suburban enclaves of Meridian Hills, Crows Nest, and the town of Speedway. Infrastructure for recreation and transit is highly visible, featuring the Monon Rail Trl and an extensive network of greenways like the White River Wapahani Trl and Central Canal Towpath Trl.
