2016 Map of McCordsville

About this map

Geist Reservoir dominates the central landscape of this 2016 survey, its irregular fingers reaching into the suburban growth of Fishers and Noblesville. The map illustrates the convergence of three counties—Hamilton, Marion, and Hancock—within a rapidly developing corridor northeast of Indianapolis. While residential expansion is evident in subdivisions like Hawthorn Hills and Luxhaven, the area's agricultural and rural roots are preserved through numerous family and community burial grounds. Genealogists can locate Highland Cem, Oaklandon Cem, and the Helm Cem, among others. Transport patterns are defined by the heavy transit of I-69 in the north and the historic diagonal path of the Pendleton Pike in the south, connecting Lawrence through Oaklandon to the small rail-side community of McCordsville. Small watercourses like Thor Run and Flatfork Cr provide the drainage for the remaining open spaces between these burgeoning settlements.
