About this map

Oil Wells dot the landscape of eastern Union County and western Henderson County, reflecting the deep integration of the petroleum industry into this rural Kentucky environment. The Illinois Central Railroad serves as a central artery through the quadrangle, passing through the town of Waverly and near St Vincent. Significant religious and educational institutions are concentrated here, most notably the St Vincent Academy and Sacred Heart Ch, which anchored the local community alongside St Peters Ch.

The landscape is further defined by the Breckinridge Job Corps Center, occupying a large footprint near the southwestern corner of the map. To the south, the topography shifts toward the Higginson-Henry Wildlife Management Area, characterized by the Sulphur Spring Hills and drainages like Muddy Run. This document preserves the late-1960s layout of local roads such as Chapel Road and Barker Road, providing a detailed view of the rural settlement patterns at Boxville and Flournoy.
