About this map

Blue Grass Field and the sprawling Keeneland Race Course dominate the landscape west of the urban center in this mid-century survey of Fayette County. The map documents a period of rapid suburban expansion, with the purple tint of recent development reaching out to neighborhoods like Gardenside, Cardinal Valley, and Southland. Institutional land use is a defining characteristic of the area, featuring the massive National Institute of Mental Health Clinical Research Center and the U.S. Veterans Hospital.
