About this map

Union City and Doylesville serve as the primary hubs in this corner of Madison County, where the landscape is defined by the winding course of the Kentucky River and its numerous tributaries. The terrain is marked by distinctive elevations such as Mill Dam Hill and Cane Spring Hill, while the drainage network includes prominent watercourses like Muddy Creek and East Fork Otter Creek. This area maintains a predominantly rural character, evidenced by the presence of the Jordan Hill Farm Airport and a dense network of country roads named for local families and landmarks, such as Ralph Parks West Rd and Bob Harris Rd.

The map reveals an intricate system of creeks and runs, including Stony Run, Bear Run, and Rocky Lick, which carve through the hills towards the river. These features, along with local connectors like Union City-College Hill Rd and Box Ankle Rd, illustrate the long-standing transport patterns of this central Kentucky agricultural region. The boundary between Clark Co and Madison Co follows the northern bend of the river, anchoring the map's geography in its historical regional context.
