Lexington Map Art

Lexington's street grid centers on a diamond pattern radiating from Cheapside, a historic intersection downtown, with Main Street running northeast-southwest through the core. The urban area sits atop the Bluegrass region's rolling terrain, with Town Branch and Elkhorn Creek marking the city's hydrological edges—the creeks converge just north of downtown before flowing into the Kentucky River. I-75 and I-64 slice through the city in perpendicular arcs, defining quadrants that contain the street grid's expansion into increasingly suburban rings.
