1966 Map of Zionsville

About this map

Eagle Creek Reservoir dominates the southern landscape of this mid-century Indiana survey, reflecting the significant water management and recreation infrastructure of the era. The mapping shows the expanding suburban reach from the south meeting the established agricultural and village patterns of Zionsville and Whitestown. Along the Central Indiana RR, local industry and transport are marked by features like the Gravel Pit and several grain elevators. The document captures a specific moment in the growth of Boone and Marion Counties, where family-named landmarks like Pitzer Cem and Holliday Lake persist alongside new residential developments like Northern Meadows and Legendary Hills. Religious and educational life is anchored by Macedonia Ch and Lincoln Jr High Sch, while the presence of several highway interchanges, including Interchange 129, indicates the shifting reliance on the interstate system over older rail corridors.
