Description This digital collection currently consists of three atlases of Louisville and environs comprising 149 maps (plus covers, title pages, and other explanatory materials) of Louisville and Jefferson County in 1876, 1884, and 1913, and 76 maps, one index, and one appendix from the Lafon Allen Kentucky Maps Collection. The atlases show inter-city and commuter rail lines, waterway crossings, and private and public properties, from a time before interstate highways crisscrossed the region and the metropolitan area expanded throughout the county. The Lafon Allen Kentucky Maps feature maps of or including the area that would become Kentucky, dating from 1635-1937. This digital collection will eventually include other historic maps from the Libraries' collections.
