1959 Map of Brooks
USGS Topo · Published 1972About this map
South Park Hills and a series of prominent knobs define the terrain along the Jefferson and Bullitt county line. During this mid-century period, the landscape transitioned from the wooded heights of Buttonmold Knob and Wagonbed Knob to the expanding residential outskirts of Minor Lane Heights and South Park View. The Louisville and Nashville RR serves as a primary industrial spine, running parallel to the Preston Highway, where the local economy appears rooted in transport and extraction, evidenced by several quarries, a conveyor, and brick kilns.
