About this map

The agricultural uplands of Union County and Henderson County define this landscape, where the traditional settlement patterns of western Kentucky remain visible. Small communities such as Saint Vincent and Waverly anchor a network of rural roads that often follow the ridgelines between drainage basins. Local family history is well-preserved through numerous burial sites including Saint Peters Cem, Sacred Heart Cem, and the more remote McClure Cem near the banks of Muddy Run.

The terrain is marked by significant water features such as Highland Creek and the southern Sulphur Spring Pond, which lies within the Higginson-Henry WMA. This area, bordered by the Sulphur Spring Hills, shows the transition from the rolling woodlands near Boxville to the more open lands toward King Mills. The placement of these settlements and cemeteries suggests a deep-rooted reliance on the fertile ground between major creek systems like Mason Cr and Casey Cr.
