1953 Map of Richmond South

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

Richmond anchors the northern edge of this 1950s Kentucky survey, where the campus of Eastern State Teachers College and several health institutions like Gibson Hospital define the city's southern expansion. The landscape quickly transitions into the winding drainage of Silver Creek, which snakes through the southern half of the quadrangle. This era captures the significant footprint of the U S Military Reservation Blue Grass Ordnance Depot along the eastern border, a massive installation that reshaped local land use during and after the war.
