About this map

Cherokee Park and the expansive grounds of Cave Hill Cemetery anchor the landscape of Eastern Louisville during the late twentieth century. This era shows the dense suburbanization of Jefferson County, where residential enclaves like Audubon Park and Seneca Gardens are woven between major transit corridors. The Watterson Expressway serves as a primary artery, connecting established neighborhoods like German Town and Camp Taylor to the growing commercial hubs of St Matthews and Buechel.

Educational and aviation history are prominent, with Bellarmine College and Atherton High Sch serving the community alongside two major airfields, Bowman Field and Standiford Field. The map details the transition from industrial uses, such as the Quarry Mines, to the civic developments of Newburg and Okolona. Local genealogists will find significant value in the clear demarcation of numerous parish schools and burial grounds, including Evergreen Cemetery and Rest Haven Memorial Cemetery.
