1952 Map of Uniontown

About this map

Uniontown sits at a sharp curve of the Ohio River, serving as a focal point for commerce and transport along the Kentucky-Indiana border during the early 1950s. The river's influence is seen in the naming of Mississippi Bend, the presence of a Ferry crossing, and large landforms like Slim Island and Wabash Island. Evidence of mid-century infrastructure is visible at Dam No 49 and the Camp Breckinridge Pumping Sta, while the local economy is anchored by numerous Oil Wells scattered across the surrounding hills. Genealogists will find local heritage recorded at the Uniontown Cem and St Agnes Cem. The map illustrates a landscape shaped by both the winding path of Highland Creek and the extraction of natural resources, providing a clear look at this riverfront community before modern interstate changes.
