1959 Map of Coletown

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

The southern outskirts of Lexington meet the rolling Bluegrass countryside in this mid-century survey, documenting a period of suburban expansion into historic farmland. The landscape is defined by the drainage systems of Hickman Creek and its major tributaries, East Hickman Creek and Shelby Branch, which carve through the limestone terrain toward the Kentucky River at the map's southern edge. Central to the local utility infrastructure is Lexington Reservoir No 4, complete with its Filtration Plant and Spillway.
