1992 Map of Muncie West

About this map

Ball State University and the expansive urban core of Muncie dominate this late-century landscape, capturing the city during a period of significant post-war modernization. The map documents the dense residential and educational infrastructure surrounding the university, including numerous neighborhood schools like Mitchell Sch and Northwest High Sch. Along the White River, the transition from the industrial and civic center of Muncie to the suburban growth of Yorktown and Andersonville is clearly defined. Genealogists will find considerable value in the detailed plotting of local burial grounds, ranging from the large Beech Grove Cemetery and Elm Ridge Memorial Park to smaller sites like Tomlinson Cem and Mt Zion Cem. Transport corridors are well-established, with the Conrail and Norfolk and Western RR lines intersecting the landscape alongside major arteries like Mc Galliard Rd.
