1951 Map of South Union

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

South Union sits at the southern edge of this mid-century Logan County landscape, where the Louisville and Nashville railroad and the Louisville and Nashville Highway parallel one another through the hills. This 1951 field check records a rural network of churches and schools that served the local farming communities, including New Harmony Ch, Cave Spring Ch, and the St Maur Sch. The drainage of the Gasper River dominates the western half of the map, carving deep hollows like Shaker Hollow and Epperson Hollow into the terrain. Traces of early industrial activity are present in the form of scattered Oil Wells and a Quarry, while family history is preserved at the Gasper River Cem and Felts Cem. The map provides a detailed view of the winding boundaries between Logan, Warren, and Simpson counties as they existed before modern development altered the rural character of the region.
