1951 Map of South Union

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

The Gasper River winds through the hills of Logan and Warren counties in this early 1950s survey, defining a landscape shaped by river crossings and rural gathering places. Historic river access is marked by Buffalo Ford, Island Ford, and Rock House Ford, while the community of South Union serves as a southern anchor along the Louisville and Nashville railroad line. The map highlights the area's religious and educational foundations, including St Maur Sch, New Harmony Ch, and Cave Spring Ch, which includes its own Cave Spring Ch Cem. Family and community history is etched into the terrain through various landmarks like Felts Cem and the small settlement of Liberty. The presence of several oil wells in the northern reaches near Epperson Hollow Creek suggests early 20th-century resource extraction alongside the established agricultural character of the Gasper region.
