1948 Map of Maywood

About this map

Industrial expansion and residential growth define the southern fringes of Indianapolis in the late 1940s. The landscape is heavily influenced by the presence of Stout Field and the sprawling Union Stockyards, reflecting a period when the city's western edge served as a critical hub for aviation and agriculture. Along the White River, the terrain shifts from the dense grids of Mars Hill and Drexel Gardens to the open land of Sunshine Gardens. The map documents a transition from urban center to the more agrarian landscapes of Perry and Wayne townships.
