1960 Map of Valley Station

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Jefferson County Memorial Forest anchors this landscape, revealing a complex network of ridges and hollows such as Blevins Gap and Coalpit Hollow. To the northwest, the suburban expansion of Valley Station and Prairie Village is evident in the 1970s updates, which show residential growth pushing toward the steep slopes of Waverly Hills. The map traces the historical path of the Illinois Central railroad and the Dixie Highway, illustrating the critical transportation corridors that fueled growth south of Louisville. Genealogists will find a wealth of family-named landmarks and resting places, including Bethany Cem, Risinger Cem, and Brown Cem. The transition from the developed valley floor to the high points like Mitchell Hill and Potato Knob demonstrates the topographical constraints that shaped local settlement patterns and land use during this era.
