About this map

The community of Upton serves as a focal point in this 2010 USGS topographic survey, situated at the intersection of a developing modern road network and traditional rural landscape. The map highlights the transition from early settlements like Melrose and Lone Star to the more established corridors near Bonnieville. Family history is deeply etched into the terrain through numerous burial sites, including the Brashear Cemetery, Big Springs Cemetery, and Brackett Cemetery.

Surface water and underground hydrology are prominent, with Roaring Spring and Falling Springs emerging from the limestone-influenced topography. The map also documents the industrial and agricultural heritage of the region, noting locations such as Riders Mill and the local landmarks of Gardner Knob and Burnt Knob. This detailed record captures the area's rural character and transportation evolution, from quiet lanes like Owsley Ln to the significant north-south transit routes that shaped the modern county line.
