About this map

Cave Hill National Cemetery and its adjacent Cave Hill Cemetery anchor the northern reaches of this metropolitan landscape, representing a significant historical and genealogical landmark in the Highlands area. The 2010 geography is defined by a dense network of suburban cities and established neighborhoods, including Audubon Park, Seneca Gardens, and the enclave of Strathmoor Village. This era shows the mature development of the region's transportation infrastructure, dominated by the massive interchange near Prestonia and the expansive grounds of the Louisville International Airport.

A distinct pattern of residential planning is evident in the cluster of small, incorporated cities such as Watterson Park and West Buechel. Aviation history is well-represented by the presence of Bowman Field, while leisure and academic life are marked by Louisville Downs and the University of Louisville School of Music. Local drainage is managed by a series of modified waterways like South Fork Beargrass Creek and the Northern Ditch, which navigate the built environment of the Petersburg and Newburg communities.
