1912 Map of Prospect
USGS Topo · Published 1920About this map
The Ohio River corridor north of Louisville is defined here by a network of historic turnpikes and early electric rail lines during a period of rapid suburban and institutional growth. Inland from the river landings at Woolfolk Ldg and Harmony Ldg, the landscape is dotted with prominent local landmarks like the Kentucky Military Institute and the sprawling Lakeland Asylum. This 1905 survey reveals the early infrastructure of Jefferson and Oldham counties, where the Louisville and Nashville Electric RR provided crucial connectivity to outlying settlements such as O'Bannon and Anchorage.
