The 1911 Bird’s-Eye View Map of the University of Kentucky, created by Arthur J. Elder and based on an original illustration by Richard Rummell, is a stunning panoramic depiction of the university’s campus in the early 20th century. Rummell, a well-known artist specializing in bird’s-eye view illustrations, created a series of detailed campus maps that captured the grandeur and layout of prestigious educational institutions.

This map provides an elevated perspective of the University of Kentucky (UK) campus as it appeared in 1911, during a period of growth and expansion. The illustration highlights the main academic buildings, dormitories, administrative offices, and surrounding landscapes, offering a carefully detailed and architecturally accurate representation of the university’s infrastructure at the time. The large open green spaces, tree-lined pathways, and carefully arranged buildings reflect the classical campus design principles of the era.

Among the most recognizable structures in the map are the early buildings of the university, including old academic halls and administrative centers that served as the foundation of UK’s growing educational mission. The depiction also provides insight into the campus layout before modern expansions, making it an invaluable historical record for alumni, historians, and collectors.

The artistic quality and accuracy of this bird’s-eye view make it more than just a map—it is a work of art that embodies the history and heritage of the University of Kentucky. Today, prints of this 1911 campus view remain highly sought after, serving as a nostalgic and informative glimpse into the early years of one of Kentucky’s most important institutions.
