1981 Map of Brooks

About this map

Buttonmold Knob and the surrounding South Hills dominate this 1981 landscape where the expanding suburbs of southern Jefferson and Bullitt Counties meet the steep knobs of the Bluegrass region. Industrial activity is prominent along the Louisville and Nashville rail corridor, featuring the Hubers (Kenlite Station) facility and several active quarries and claypits. Residential growth is visible in the development of Hillview and Pioneer Village, while older rural anchors like Hebron Church and Little Flock Church remain central to the community. In the southern portion of the map, the terrain yields to the meandering course of Floyds Fork and the Salt River, where family-named landmarks like Stallings Cemetery and MacDonald Knob provide valuable points of reference for genealogists. The map also documents the modern infrastructure of the era, including the Interstate 65 corridor and the Holsclaw Lookout Tower.
