About this map

Florence and Union anchor this topographic survey of Boone County, documenting the suburban transition of Northern Kentucky. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Gunpowder Creek and its many tributaries, including South Fork Gunpowder Creek and Fowler Creek, which carve through the undulating terrain. A dense network of residential streets in Burlington and Oakbrook contrasts with the more rural character of southern settlements like Beaverlick and Hueys Corners.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the numerous burial grounds recorded across the county, such as Hopeful Cem and the Big Bone Church Cem. The map also captures specialized landmarks of the era, from Southwestern Coll to the Estes Airport. The uniquely named settlement of Sugartit and the community of Richwood illustrate the area's deep-rooted local identity as infrastructure expanded around the regional transportation corridors.
