1965 Map of Lexington East

About this map

The University of Kentucky and the historic Home of Henry Clay anchor the southern portion of this mid-century look at the Bluegrass region. The transition from the established urban core of Lexington into burgeoning residential suburbs like Chevy Chase and Ashland Park is clearly defined by the expanding street grid. To the north, the University of Kentucky Agricultural Experimental Station and various horse cemeteries, such as the Horse Cem near Muir, reflect the area's deep roots in agrarian science and thoroughbred culture.
