About this map

Union serves as a central hub in this corner of Monroe County, situated where Knobs Rd and Willow Bend Rd meet. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of Indian Creek and Turkey Creek, which are spanned by the Laurel Creek Covered Bridge and the Indian Creek Covered Bridge. These structures, along with the Willow Bend Post Office, reflect the enduring rural infrastructure of the region.

Genealogical interest is rooted in the numerous burial grounds scattered across the terrain, including Green Hill Cemetery near the town center and the Old Rehobeth Cemetery to the east. From the small settlement of Salt Sulphur Springs to the southern hamlet of Zenith, the map reveals a distribution of family-named landmarks like Calders Peak and Swoopes Knobs, alongside several hollows such as Earson Hollow and Wallace Hollow that dictate the local topography.
