I'm batting 1.000 tonight for finding stuff I had previously overlooked and missed! Here is a much BETTER map than the one I was using to give the Ward descriptions, dated 1873! There are streets on this 1873 map that weren't on the 1876 (now I wonder?) map I used?!? http://www.lib.utexas.edu/maps/historical/louisville_appletons_1873.jpg (now how do I get this bear to print?!?) Look for this link shortly on the website... There is also a 1917 map http://www.lib.utexas.edu/maps/historical/louisville_1917.jpg See what a couple of hours off of work can do! BTW: just for kicks, notice in the upper righthand corner next to the new Beargrass Creek channel... "Proposed Bridge to Jeffersonville" That bridge has been proposed for an awful long time...

Dear Patrick, Another winner! I see that in 1917 my street, Bassett Ave, wasn't named. Ransdale Ave. was known as Slaughters Ave. I lived there around 1943-1954. Thanks for sharing your discovery. I was relying on an abbreviated map I got from a car rental agency at the airport in Louisville.
