1982 Map of Union

About this map

Big Bone Lick State Park anchors the southwestern corner of this Boone County landscape, marking a site where paleontological history meets early Kentucky settlement. The map reveals a transition from the developing residential and commercial outskirts of Florence in the north to the more agrarian, creek-cut terrain of the south. Along the Southern railroad line, the settlement of Richwood is identified by its local church and interchanges, while the oddly named hamlet of Sugartit sits just north of the growing community of Union. Waterways like Gunpowder Creek and Mud Lick Creek define the topography, with family histories etched into the land at Baker Cem and Rice Cem. Evidence of mid-century infrastructure and recreation appears through the Kentucky Raceway and the New Haven Sch, illustrating a region balancing its rural roots with modern suburban expansion.
