About this map

The Southern railroad corridor anchors this early 1980s topographic study, illustrating the intensive suburban expansion east of Louisville. Major residential developments like Blue Ridge Manor, Douglass Hills, and Hurstbourne Acres demonstrate the era's rapid growth, replacing rural tracts with neighborhood grids. Despite this modernization, the map preserves older community centers and landmarks, including the historic core of Jeffersontown and the village of Seatonville near the banks of Floyds Fork.

Educational and religious institutions serve as neighborhood anchors, from Crosby Middle Sch to numerous parish sites like St Pauls Ch and St Stephens Ch. The landscape retains significant recreational and agricultural green space, evidenced by the Hurstbourne Country Club and the sprawling Chenoweth Park. To the south and east, the terrain becomes more varied as it follows the winding course of Chenoweth Run and Cedar Creek, where smaller settlements like Ashville and Hopewell maintain a more dispersed character.
