1965 Map of Lexington West

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

The western expansion of Lexington is vividly documented here, capturing a period when academic, equestrian, and suburban landscapes converged. The sprawling grounds of the University of Kentucky and the University of Kentucky Agricultural Experimental Station dominate the urban edge, while the city's storied horse racing tradition is anchored by the Keeneland Race Course and the Lexington Trotting Track. Suburban growth is evident in the numerous named neighborhoods like Cardinal Valley, Garden Springs, and Lansdowne that began filling the gaps between older rural points.
