About this map

Union serves as the focal point of this Monroe County landscape, anchored by the Monroe County Courthouse and the Monroe County Magistrate Court. The area's history of mineral springs is preserved at Salt Sulphur Springs, where Sweet Sulphur Spring, Iodine Spring, and Salt Sulphur Spring are clustered south of the town center. The rural character is defined by narrow hollows and high points like Swoopes Knobs and Calders Peak.

Cultural landmarks are distributed along the winding watercourses, notably the Indian Creek Covered Bridge where Indian Creek flows. Local genealogy is well-documented through several burial sites, including Green Hill Cem, Old Rehobeth Cem, and the Ballard Cem near Lillydale. The southern portion of the map transitions into the slopes of Little Mountain, with the small community of Zenith positioned near Dropping Lick Spring.
