1983 Map of Louisville West

About this map

Louisville and its southwestern suburbs are depicted here in the early 1980s, showcasing a landscape defined by industrial development, major transit corridors, and established residential additions. The dense urban grid of Parkland and Oakdale gives way to sprawling suburban developments such as Pleasure Ridge Park and Shively, reflecting the mid-century outward growth of the city. Industrial activity is anchored by the U S Naval Ordnance Plant and various facilities along the Ohio River, including a prominent Pumping Sta and several tailings ponds.
