About this map

The suburban expansion of eastern Jefferson County is captured in this mid-1980s survey, showing the rapid growth of communities like Jeffersontown and Fern Creek. While the northern sections are dominated by established residential developments and the Watterson Expressway, the southeastern quadrant near Seatonville retains more of its open landscape before the full push of modern sprawl. The map documents a complex network of local institutions, from Carrithers Middle Sch to numerous religious centers such as St Stephens Ch and Mt Zion Ch.

Hydrography is defined by the winding course of Floyds Fork and tributaries like Chenoweth Run and Cedar Creek, which provide a natural contrast to the grid of newer subdivisions. Civil landmarks including the Hurstbourne Country Club and various Sewage Disposal facilities indicate the infrastructure required to support the area's transition from rural farmland to a major residential hub of Louisville.
