1965 Map of Lexington West

USGS Topo · Published 1993

About this map

The urban periphery of Lexington expands westward in this mid-century portrait, where the established core meets the rolling Bluegrass farmland. Post-war residential growth is evident in a ring of suburban developments such as Cardinal Valley, Garden Springs, and Meadowthorpe, while the University of Kentucky campus and Commonwealth Stadium anchor the southeastern quadrant. The map captures a transition in commerce and transit, featuring the sprawling Turfland Mall and the Blue Grass Airport on the city's edge. Beyond the urban limits, the landscape remains defined by its traditional agricultural character, dotted with older hamlets like Yarnallton and Viley. Important community landmarks, including the U S Veterans Hospital and the extensive grounds of the Lexington Cemetery, stand alongside the critical rail corridors of the Southern Railway and the Louisville and Nashville RR.
