1965 Map of Coletown

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The suburban expansion of Lexington meets the rural Bluegrass landscape in this detailed topographical study. Modern developments like Lansdowne and Gainesway flank the New Circle Road corridor, while further east, the terrain remains dominated by large tracts and traditional Kentucky homesteads. The watershed of East Hickman Creek and Shelby Branch reveals a network of winding country lanes, including DeLong Road and Walnut Hill Road, which connect historic community centers such as Coletown and Walnut Hill. Along the southern boundary, the land drops sharply toward the Kentucky River at Raven Run, highlighting the contrast between the level limestone plateau and the deeply incised river bluffs. Cultural landmarks such as Bentley Memorial Ch and the older Todds Cem indicate deep-rooted local heritage and settlement patterns that predate the mid-century suburban shift.
