1965 Map of Louisville East

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The suburban expansion of Louisville east and south is documented here during a period of significant postwar growth. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of the Middle Fork Beargrass Creek and South Fork Beargrass Creek, which contrast with the emerging grid of residential developments like Audubon Park, Lynnview, and Hikes Point. Major aviation hubs anchor the region, with the expansive grounds of Standiford Field featuring the Lee Terminal, while Bowman Field serves the area to the northeast. Cultural and educational institutions are well-established, including Bellarmine College and Ursuline College. Large green spaces and memorial grounds occupy significant acreage, notably the sprawling Cave Hill Cemetery and Calvary Cemetery. The infrastructure reflects a shift toward automobile-centric transit, highlighted by the Henry Watterson Expressway and Preston Highway, which intersect the older rail corridors of the Louisville And Nashville and Southern railroads.
