1960 Map of Crestwood

About this map

Floyds Fork meanders through the central landscape of this 1960 revision, defining the geography of southern Oldham County as it nears the borders of Jefferson and Shelby counties. The Louisville and Nashville railroad serves as the primary corridor for regional growth, connecting established communities like Crestwood and Pewee Valley. Local institutional history is anchored by landmarks such as the Pewee Valley Sanitarium and Kavanaugh Camp, while the presence of State Prison Water utility indicates the specialized infrastructure of the era. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of rural burial sites and congregations, including Pleasant Hill Cem and Long Run Ch. Small agrarian crossroads like Centerfield, Glenarm, and Floydsburg reflect the early-century settlement patterns that persisted even as the area began to modernize.
