1960 Map of Louisville West

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

The Ohio River forms a sharp boundary between the industrial and residential corridors of Louisville and the wooded terrain of the New Albany Hills in this 1960 revision. The map documents a period of significant urban growth, with the emerging paths of the Watterson Expressway and Kentucky Turnpike beginning to reshape the suburban landscape near Shively and Pleasure Ridge Park. Major landmarks of mid-century infrastructure and social history are prominent, including the sprawling U S Naval Ordnance Plant and the Hazelwood Sanatorium.
