About this map

The White River and Eagle Creek dominate the landscape of southern Indianapolis during a period of significant suburban expansion and industrial transition. To the north, the Union Stockyards and a complex network of Conrail lines highlight the area's role as a major regional hub for commerce and transport. The map captures the footprint of Indiana Central College and the green space of Garfield Park amidst a tightening grid of residential developments like University Heights and Drexel Gardens.

Social and civic life is anchored by numerous institutions, including the Stout Field Sch (Abandoned) and a dense concentration of religious and memorial sites such as the Holy Cross and St Joseph Cemetery and Calvary Cemetery. Further south, the map transitions into the established communities of Southport and Homecroft, where the landscape begins to open into gravel operations and smaller settlements like Glenns Valley along the Marion and Johnson County line.
