2013 Map of Union

About this map

Union and the surrounding Boone County landscape exhibit a blend of suburban expansion and traditional Kentucky crossroads in the early 21st century. The map highlights several smaller settlements such as Oakbrook, Sugartit, and Beaverlick, which provide important geographic anchors for local historians. This era is characterized by an intricate network of residential streets branching off established routes like Camp Ernst Rd, while the southern and western portions of the sheet retain a more dispersed, creek-carved character. The area is notable for its numerous burial grounds, including the Big Bone Church Cem and Richwood Church Cem, which serve as vital points for genealogical research. Watercourses such as Fowlers Fork and Big Bone Cr snake through the terrain, defining the drainage patterns that shaped early land use before the modern sprawl reached north toward Estes Airport.
