About this map

White River flows southward through this Central Indiana landscape, anchoring the city of Noblesville and its surrounding townships. The 1969 data, updated with 1980 purple revisions, captures a period of suburban expansion and infrastructure development, most notably the expansive Morse Reservoir which dominates the northern half of the sheet. The map documents the city's civic core, including the Courthouse, City Hall, and numerous neighborhood schools like Forest Hill Sch and Conner Sch.

Genealogists will find a wealth of burial sites including Riverside Cem, Crownland Cem, and the smaller Weaver Cem. The transportation network is defined by the Norfolk and Western and Conrail lines, which serviced the industrial and agricultural needs of settlements like West Noblesville and Federal Hill. Rural landmarks such as the Indianapolis Boys Club Camp and Potter Bridge provide specific points of interest for local historians studying the mid-century character of Hamilton County.
