1927 Map of Lexington
USGS Topo · Published 1927About this map
Lexington and Paris anchor this 1927 landscape, revealing the dense network of pikes and rail lines that defined Central Kentucky’s Bluegrass region before modern highway expansion. The map captures a complex social geography of small settlements and neighborhood centers, including New Zion, Jimtown, Mattoxtown, and Uttingertown. These communities, often centered around institutions like Antioch Ch or local schools like Russell Cave Sch, reflect the rural kinship and labor patterns of the early twentieth century.
