About this map

The southeastern suburban expansion of Lexington meets the rolling Bluegrass countryside in this 2016 survey of Fayette County. Established neighborhoods like Lansdowne, Gainesway, and Southeastern Hills dominate the northwest, while the southeastern portion transitions into the drainage basins of the Kentucky River. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of W Hickman Cr and E Hickman Cr, which flow toward the county lines shared with Jessamine and Madison.

Smaller historic communities such as Coletown, East Hickman, and Walnut Hill sit along the arterial roads leading out of the city, including the prominent Man O War Blvd. Local geography is further marked by Lexington Reservoir Number 4 and the green space of Branham Park. This map documents a modern snapshot of urban growth as it presses against the traditional Kentucky farmstead and creek-branch terrain.
