1951 Map of Brooks
USGS Topo · Published 1951About this map
The South Park Hills and a series of prominent knobs define this landscape along the border of Jefferson and Bullitt counties at the midpoint of the twentieth century. The Old National Turnpike and the Louisville and Nashville railroad provide the primary north-south transit corridor, linking settlements like South Park, Coral Ridge, and Brooks. The map reveals a deeply rooted rural community evidenced by numerous family cemeteries and local institutions, including the Julius Rosenwald Sch and several country churches like Little Flock Ch. To the south, the terrain descends toward the winding path of Floyds Fork and the Salt River, while high points like Buttonmold Knob and Wagonbed Knob overlook the developing valley. Notable infrastructure of the era is captured through the Airway Beacon and Holsclaw Lookout Tower, reflecting contemporary navigation and fire safety systems.
