About this map

Union City and Doylesville anchor this Madison County landscape, where the Kentucky River defines the northern boundary. The terrain is deeply etched by a network of waterways, including the winding Muddy Creek and the East Fork Otter Creek, which historically dictated the placement of early settlements and agricultural tracts. A notable point of river crossing is preserved at Jackson Ferry, while the local economy's historical reliance on water power is signaled by Weddles Mill further east along the creek banks.

A web of rural roads, many bearing family names like Walker Parke Rd and Harris Rd, connects these scattered communities and leads to sites such as Flatwoods Cemetery in the southeast. This survey documents the persistence of these rural centers and their connection to the land, tracing the natural drainages of Stoney Run, Dunbar Branch, and Rocky Lick that continue to shape the geography of the Bluegrass region.
