1884 Atlas of the City of Louisville, Kentucky

A complete, full-color facsimile of the Atlas of the City of Louisville, Ky. and Environs, published by the Philadelphia civil engineer G. M. Hopkins in 1884. This edition reproduces the original in its entirety, in color: the double-page index map of the city and all thirty plates.

Hopkins mapped Gilded Age Louisville lot by lot. Each plate is a detailed property plat recording owners' names on every parcel, building footprints with construction materials, and the city's infrastructure — sewers, water mains, and hydrants — across all twelve wards and the surrounding environs, including Portland, Shippingsport, West Louisville, and Parkland, with New Albany and Jeffersonville across the Ohio River shown on the index map. For anyone researching a Louisville property, this atlas shows the city as it stood in 1884: who owned the lot, what stood on it, and how the neighborhood around it was built.

An essential reference for genealogists, house historians, and collectors of Louisville history.
