About this map

Unionville and the eastern outskirts of Bloomington occupy a landscape defined by deep ridges and narrow creek valleys. The terrain transitions from the developed residential blocks of Hoosier Acres and Eastern Heights in the west to the deeply dissected hills of the east. These ridges, including Bender Ridge and Lampkin Ridge, are separated by numerous named hollows such as Penitentiary Hollow and Sulphur Spring Hollow, reflecting a rugged topography that has historically shaped the road network.

Water plays a central role in the area's layout, with Lake Lemon visible in the northeast and Stephens Creek winding through the center. Significant landforms like the Devils Backbone provide natural landmarks for those tracing local history or land use. The map also identifies smaller residential pockets such as Woodville Hills and Knight Ridge, highlighting the gradual expansion of settlement along the arterial State Road 46 corridor toward the more rural northeastern corners of Monroe County.
