1965 Map of Lexington East

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Lexington expanded rapidly eastward across the Fayette County landscape by the mid-1960s, a period of transition visible in the sprawling residential developments of Chevy Chase, Ashland Park, and Kenwood. The map documents a sophisticated urban infrastructure where historic institutions like Transylvania University and the University of Kentucky stand alongside specialized facilities such as Eastern State Hospital and Shriners Hospital. Outside the suburban core, the Bluegrass character remains evident in the winding courses of Elkhorn Creek and Cane Run, and the sprawling grounds of the Lexington Country Club.
