2019 Map of Westfield

About this map

Westfield serves as the focal point of this Hamilton County landscape, where modern suburban development meets a deep Quaker heritage. The presence of numerous historic burial grounds, such as the Anti-Slavery Friends Cem and Greenwood Friends Cem, points to the region's early settlement by the Society of Friends and their involvement in the abolitionist movement. The terrain is defined by the drainage of Little Eagle Cr and Cool Cr, which historically dictated the placement of small outlying communities like Hortonville, Eagletown, and Jolietville. While the southern reaches toward Carmel show a dense network of residential streets and the sprawling Chatham Hills golf course development, the northern portions preserve a more rectilinear agricultural grid. Of particular interest is the path of the Kinsey Ave E to Monon Trail and the proximity of the Westfield Airport, highlighting the transition from traditional rail corridors to contemporary transportation and leisure infrastructure.
