1983 Map of Louisville West

USGS Topo · Published 1994

About this map

Iroquois Park dominates the southeastern quadrant of this study, its forested slopes rising sharply above the dense urban grid of Louisville. This era reflects a period of significant suburban expansion and industrial infrastructure, where the U S Naval Ordnance Plant and several railroad networks, including the Illinois Central Gulf RR, delineate the economic character of the region. The map tracks the western edge of the city toward the Ohio River, passing through established neighborhoods like Shively and Pleasure Ridge Park. To the west, the landscape shifts toward the river bottomlands near Lake Dreamland, while the south is marked by the heights of Waverly Hills. Genealogists will find high value in the numerous cemeteries and schools, from St Stephens Cem to localized institutions like Butler High Sch and Iroquois High Sch.
