<br />. <br /> <br />EXISTING CONDITIONS <br /> <br />Plannina Area Boundaries <br /> <br />This comprehensive plan has been <br />developed to guide development for <br />the town of Mooresville, located in <br />Morgan County, Indiana. Moores- <br />viI Ie lies eighteen miles southwest <br />of Indianapolis and covers approxi- <br />mately two and three-quarters <br />square miles. <br /> <br />Ft. Wayne· <br /> <br />. Kokomo <br /> <br />This plan covers the incorporated <br />area within the town of Mooresville <br />as well as the buffer zone that <br />surrounds the town on the west, <br />south and east sides. The buffer <br />zone extends up to two miles beyond <br />the town limit but does not cross <br />the Hendricks County line, as indi- <br />cated on the map on the following <br />page. <br /> <br />·Indlan.polla <br />* MOORESVILLE <br /> <br />.

Morgan County is on the southern boundary of the most <br />recent of these glacial movements, the Wisconsin Glacier. The <br />glaciers leveled off the topography as they moved south and left <br />a gently rolling or level deposit of earth as they melted. <br />Weather and erosion have since created slopes along streams and <br />drainageways. This is the basis for the difference in character <br />of the landscape in the northern and eastern parts of the county, <br />which were Covered by the glacier, and that of the central and <br />southwestern portions of the county, which were not. <br /> <br />Existing Conditions I <br /> <br />; <br />! <br />, <br />I <br />í <br />! <br />I <br />! <br />I <br />
