1952 Map of Union City

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

The Kentucky River forms a deeply incised northern boundary on this 1952 sheet, separating Clark and Madison counties. The interior landscape is defined by the winding course of Muddy Creek and its many tributaries, including Rocky Lick Branch and Stony Run. These waterways dictated the placement of early settlements, with small rural centers often anchored by local congregations. For genealogists, the map preserves the locations of several community landmarks, such as Doylesville Ch and Old Cain Springs Ch. The hub of Union City stands at the intersection of several ridge roads, surrounded by a network of farmsteads and small cemeteries. This survey captures a moment before modern development altered the rural character of the Bluegrass region, showing the density of homes along the East Fork and Otter Creek drainage basins.
