Stumped by the old Lexington Road (Covington KY)

[bandit957]

I thought I had this figured out once before, but maybe I forgot all the details.

Near the current US 25 on the west side of Covington, there used to be Lexington Road instead. I know it used Old State Road in Park Hills, but I want to know more details of where it went east of there. Currently, in Covington, there are 2 streets right next to each other called South Linden Avenue and Old Lexington Road. I went Roads Scholaring there maybe 8 years ago, and I think I may have gotten them mixed up on my page of photos. I want to know if Lexington Road actually used South Linden Avenue, not Old Lexington Road. There's some evidence of this, and I was pretty sure of it for a while, but I can't say for sure. The local GIS website says the public right-of-way there is pretty wide and straight, and the 2 existing streets there now kind of wiggle around within it.

Old maps and aerials just aren't very detailed.

I can't tell from those maps. The most detailed one shows a straight roadway like the modern right-of-way, while the actual streets that are there now kind of weave through it.

I guess so. Never would have guessed.
