1982 Map of Louisville East

About this map

Louisville is shown during a period of significant suburban maturation, dominated by the branching forks of Beargrass Creek and a dense network of Catholic parish schools and historic cemeteries. The sprawling grounds of Cave Hill Cemetery and Calvary Cemetery anchor the older urban neighborhoods like German Town, while the southeastern expansion is defined by early subdivisions such as Audubon Park and Seneca Gardens. This survey captures the massive footprint of the region's transport hubs, from the Louisville and Nashville rail lines to the extensive airfield layouts of Standiford Field and Bowman Field. Educational and religious landmarks are exceptionally dense here, featuring dozens of sites like Atherton High Sch, St Michaels Church, and Resurrection Sch, which served the growing post-war residential tracts of Okolona and Newburg.
