1960 Map of Jeffersontown

About this map

Jeffersontown and the expanding eastern suburbs of Louisville reflect a transitional landscape in the early 1960s, where traditional rural landmarks meet post-war residential growth. The sheet captures established communities such as Middletown, Fern Creek, and Bellemeade before the full density of late-twentieth-century sprawl. Evidence of the area's older social fabric remains visible in institutional sites like the Spring Meadows Childrens Home and the County Home, alongside numerous family and community burial grounds including Bullitt Cem and the Chenoweth Run Cem.
