About this map

Jeffersontown and the surrounding suburban expansion of eastern Jefferson County are caught in a moment of rapid transition during the mid-1980s. The map illustrates the densifying residential nodes of Fern Creek and Hurstbourne Acres alongside established institutions like the Hurstbourne Country Club and St Edwards Ch. While much of the area shows significant urban development, the eastern and southern reaches retain their rolling topography, defined by the winding course of Floyds Fork and the rural character near Seatonville.

Infrastructure is a dominant theme, with the Southern railway bisecting the landscape near Tucker Station and numerous highway interchanges facilitating the growth of neighborhoods like Douglass Hills and Blue Ridge Manor. Researchers can trace the evolution of local education and community life through numerous labels for schools such as Carrithers Middle Sch and parks like Chenoweth Park, which preserve open space amidst the increasing pavement.
