2019 Map of Lexington West

About this map

Lexington-Fayette expansion is the primary character of this modern survey, which documents the suburban and institutional footprint of Kentucky’s Bluegrass region. The western quadrant of the city centers on the sprawling complex of Blue Grass Airport and the dense concentration of established neighborhoods such as Gardenside, Southland, and Beaumont Park. Beyond the urban core, the map captures the transition to outlying settlements like Yarnallton and Bracktown, where the rolling terrain is still defined by watercourses like Town Br and S Elkhorn Cr. Institutional history is well-represented, showing the grounds of the Univ of Kentucky and several significant burial sites, including the historic The Lexington Cem and Hillcrest Memorial Park. The map also illustrates the arterial role of Leestown Rd and Georgetown Rd in connecting these disparate residential and agricultural pockets.
