1960 Map of Louisville East

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

Louisville is shown at a peak of post-war suburbanization, with its eastern neighborhoods and independent cities like St Matthews and Buechel expanding rapidly into former farmland. The landscape is dominated by large-scale institutional and transportation infrastructure, from the dual airports of Bowman Field and Standiford Field to the massive industrial complex at Appliance Park. Residential development follows the curves of Cherokee Park and Seneca Park, while the new Henry Watterson Expressway begins to reshape the city's connectivity.
