2016 Map of Union

About this map

Salt Sulphur Springs stands as a focal point in this portion of Monroe County, where mineral hydrology including Sweet Sulphur Spring, Iodine Spring, and Salt Sulphur Spring converge. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Indian Creek, crossed by the Indian Creek Covered Bridge south of the main settlement at Union. This area reflects a deep-rooted history through its numerous burial grounds, such as the Old Rehobeth Cem and Green Hill Cem. The terrain rises sharply from the creek valleys toward elevations like Swoopes Knobs and Pynes Mountain, with smaller communities like Lillydale, Zenith, and Raines Corner established along the valleys and gaps. The drainage network is dense, featuring named waterways like Turkey Creek and Humphreys Run that have shaped the placement of local farmsteads and transport routes.
