1952 Map of Coletown

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

Lexington Reservoir No 4 and the Spillway 967 dominate the northern landscape of this region where the Bluegrass hills meet the river breaks. The settlement pattern in the early 1950s follows a network of historic pikes and lanes, including Jacks Creek Pike and Tates Creek Road, connecting small rural communities such as Coletown and East Hickman. This area is rich in local landmarks, from the Walnut Hill Ch and Bentley Memorial Ch to the small schools that served these farming districts, like Pricetown Sch and Shelby Sch. To the southeast, the terrain drops sharply toward the Kentucky River, where deep-cut drainages like Raven Run and Elk Lick Creek carve through the limestone. The map also captures the Radio Beacon and Pumping Sta that supported the growing infrastructure of Fayette County.
