About this map

The Ohio River meanders across this borderland landscape where Kentucky and Indiana meet, shaping a complex network of wetlands and backwaters. This survey highlights the intricate hydrology of the region, where remnant oxbows and seasonal drainages like Hovey Lake, Pirogue Slough, and Little Pitcher Lake define the terrain north of the river. The town of Uniontown sits on the southern bank, situated where the high ground meets the floodplain of Highland Creek.

Local history and genealogy are well-represented through the mapped town site and its surroundings. The river’s influence on the local infrastructure is evident in roads like Union Ferry Rd and Old Dam 49 Rd, which point to a time of heavy river commerce. Beyond the residential grid of Uniontown, researchers will find the Uniontown Cemetery and Saint Agnes Cemetery, along with the industrial footprint of Hamilton Mine Rd, reflecting the area's agricultural and mining heritage.
