1969 Map of Muncie East

About this map

Industrial and residential expansion defines the eastern half of Muncie during the late 1960s, a period where suburban neighborhoods like Creston, Aultshire, and Irvington were actively filling in the landscape between the city core and the surrounding Delaware County farmland. The map reveals a transition from the dense urban grid near Heekin Park to the sprawling reaches of the Delaware Country Club and the emerging Woodland Park district. The White River and several rail corridors, including the Conrail and Norfolk and Western lines, dictate the layout of these growing communities.
