2013 Map of Maywood

About this map

The White River winds through the heart of this landscape south of downtown Indianapolis, defining the industrial and residential development of the early twenty-first century. Dense urban planning is evident in established neighborhoods like Mars Hill and Maywood, while the industrial footprint is anchored by the sprawling Union Stockyards and the Belmont Advanced Wastewater Treatment Facility. The map captures a transition toward suburban residential pockets such as Homecroft and Southport to the southeast, separated by the intricate drainage networks of Lick Cr and Little Buck Cr. Water management is a dominant theme, with numerous artificial channels like Hau-isen Ditch and Harmon Ditch crisscrossing the terrain to manage the floodplains. Recreational land use is prominent on the city's periphery, evidenced by the Buffer Park Golf Course and Southern Dunes Golf Course, reflecting the conversion of riverine areas into public green spaces.
