The Capitol of Indiana in Indianapolis |
|
| According to the United States Census Bureau,
"the balance" (that part of Marion County not part
of another municipality) has a total area of 953.5 km²
(368.2 mi²). 936.2 km² (361.5 mi²) of it is land
and 17.3 km² (6.7 mi²) of it is water. The total area
is 1.81% water. These figures are bit misleading because they
do not represent the entire Consolidated City of Indianapolis
(all of Marion County, except the four "excluded"
communities). The total area of the Consolidated City of Indianapolis,
which does not count the four "excluded" communities,
covers approximately 966.3 km² (373.1 mi²). |
| At the center of Indianapolis is the One-Mile
Square, bounded by East, West, North, and South Streets. At
the center of the Square is Monument Circle, a traffic circle
at the intersection of Meridian and Market Streets, featuring
the Soldiers and Sailors Monument. (Monument Circle is depicted
on the city’s flag, and is generally considered the city’s
symbol.) Four diagonal streets pass through the corners of the
Square but stop one to five blocks (depending on the street)
before reaching the Circle. Nearly all of the streets in the
One-Mile Square are named after U.S. states. (The street-numbering
system centers not on the Circle, but rather one block to the
south, where Meridian Street intersects Washington Street —
National Road.) |
