About this map

The White River and the expanding Morse Reservoir define the landscape of Hamilton County in this late 1960s revision. The city of Noblesville serves as a focal point, showing established residential grids and its historical Courthouse, while the newly developed Monterey Village and Federal Hill reflect mid-century growth patterns. To the north, the reservoir has reshaped the drainage of Cicero Creek and Hinkle Creek, creating a new recreational geography seen in the Indianapolis Boys Club Camp and the Morse Reservoir Golf Course.

Rural character remains visible across the western half of the map, where the Norfolk and Western line cuts through agricultural lands. Numerous small family landmarks and community anchors are preserved here, including the Hinkle Creek Ch and several burial grounds such as West Grove Cem and Crownland Cem. These features, along with the transition from the old settlement at Deming to the modernizing outskirts of Westfield, provide a clear record of the county's physical evolution.
