About this map

Muncie and its eastern suburbs dominate this 2016 landscape, revealing the modern footprint of Delaware County's residential and industrial expansion. The city's eastern edge reaches into neighborhoods like Morningside, Aultshire, and Irvington, while the rural character remains intact further east near the settlements of Desoto, Selma, and Smithfield. This transition from urban grid to agricultural township is defined by a complex drainage network, where the White River and its various tributaries, including Hamilton Ditch and Mud Cr, intersect with long-established county roads.

Genealogists can find several well-documented burial grounds, such as Bortsfield Cem, Parker Moore Cem, and Sparr Cem, which anchor the local history of the surrounding townships. The southeast corner is notably occupied by the Prairie Cr Reservoir, a significant water feature that provides a stark contrast to the surrounding farmland and the nearby aviation activities at Reese Airport. This survey provides a contemporary perspective on the region's land use, from established parks like Woodland Park to newer developments and managed waterways.
