1965 Map of Lexington West

About this map

The western outskirts of Lexington are captured here in a period of significant mid-century suburban expansion, showing a landscape transitioning from thoroughbred horse country to residential neighborhoods. Established enclaves like Meadowthorpe and Sandersville are joined by newer developments such as Cardinal Valley, Gardenside, and Lansdowne, while the established core of the University of Kentucky and the sprawling Lexington Cemetery anchor the urban edge. To the northwest, specialized institutions like the United States Public Health Service Hospital and the Kentucky Village reflect the era's civic and healthcare infrastructure.
