The Ohio River serves as the central artery for this mid-century view of the Bluegrass region, marking the boundary between the expanding urban centers of Louisville and Southern Indiana's Jeffersonville and New Albany. To the east, the state capital of Frankfort and the horse country of Lexington anchor the landscape, connected by a maturing network of interstate highways and historic rail lines like the Louisville and Nashville RR. The map illustrates a period of significant regional infrastructure, including the Kentucky Turnpike and the massive footprints of Fort Knox and the Jefferson Proving Ground.
