About this map

Morganfield serves as the primary hub in this Union County landscape, where residential streets like E McElroy St and N Carrier St give way to a surrounding terrain defined by an extensive system of drainage ditches and creeks. The hydrology of the area is managed through features such as Wathen Ditch, Willett Ditch, and Line Ditch, reflecting the agricultural necessity of moving water through the lowlands near Lost Cr and Eagle Cr.

Genealogists will find a high density of family burial grounds scattered across the countryside, including Sugg Cem, Davenport Cem, and Waller Cem. To the south, the terrain rises toward the Chalybeate Hills and Sulphur Spring Hills, creating a distinct contrast with the Cypress Flats to the west. This combination of established town infrastructure and a rural landscape dotted with small family cemeteries provides a clear view of the area's settlement patterns and physical geography.
