1951 Map of Louisville
USGS Topo · Published 1959About this map
The Louisville metropolitan area undergoes significant post-war expansion in this early 1950s survey, showing the transition from dense urban blocks to suburban developments like Audubon Park and Okolona. Aviation infrastructure is a dominant feature, anchored by Bowman Field and the newer Standiford Field. The landscape south of the city is defined by the Louisville and Nashville RR and Southern RR corridors, which supported a growing industrial base including local Kilns and a Fish hatchery.
