The word would be cartographer
No, Ohio is the opposite direction, not that I have heard much to recommend it. Indy is about a 700 mile drive, not terribly unpleasant if you avoid Chicago (I've driven there three times for my rotary meets).
You just take 74 west through Champaign to Bloomington/Normal, 39 North to Rockford, 90 West to Rochester, and 52 North is within a few miles...
