1955 Map of Union

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Gunpowder Creek and its southern fork wind through the dissected uplands of Boone County, anchoring a mid-century landscape of small settlements and rural institutions. The map documents the established community of Union and the uniquely named Sugartit, connected by a network of local thoroughfares like Hicks Pike and Rice Pike. To the northeast, Florence shows early signs of expansion along the Dixie Highway and the Southern railroad line, while the western reaches remain more secluded, marked by terrain features such as Dark Hollow and Riddles Run.
