About this map

Morganfield serves as the central hub of this Union County landscape, where the street grid converges at the intersection of several local routes. The surrounding terrain is defined by a dense network of drainage ditches and family-named cemeteries, reflecting a long-established agrarian community. Drainage features such as Wathen Ditch, Willett Ditch, and Higginson Ditch illustrate the engineering required to manage the low-lying areas near Cypress Flats.

Genealogists will find a significant concentration of burial sites throughout the countryside, including Saint Ann Cem, Davenport Cem, and Sugg Cem. Smaller settlements like Hamner, Chapman, and Harding are connected by a web of local roads, such as Wallie Clements Rd and Jim Veatch Rd, which trace the property boundaries and topography of the Chalybeate Hills and Dyer Hills in the southern portion of the quadrangle.
