1998 Map of Louisville West

About this map

Louisville and its western suburbs are detailed in this late 20th-century survey, showcasing the dense residential and industrial expansion between the Ohio River and the high ground of Iroquois Park. The urban fabric is dominated by established neighborhoods like Shively, South Parkland, and Beechmont, with the legendary Churchill Downs racetrack serving as a central landmark. The industrial and logistical character of the era is evident in the heavy presence of the Illinois Central Gulf RR and the sprawling U S Naval Ordnance Plant to the south.
