1955 Map of Brooks

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

The South Park Hills dominate the northwestern terrain of this mid-1950s survey, marking a transition from the developing outskirts of Louisville into the more industrial and agricultural corridor of Bullitt County. The Louisville and Nashville railroad runs through the heart of the area, serving the settlement of Brooks and the industrial activity at Hubers (Kenlite Sta). This era captures the early footprint of the Kentucky Turnpike as it cuts north-to-south, paralleling the older Preston Highway and National Turnpike.
