Details on early maps are often difficult to read and these are no
exception; however, by virtue of the Adobe PDF formatting, these
documents may be inspected at high levels of magnification without
additional digital distortion; something that simply cannot be
accomplished with paper reproductions and photocopies. Follow these
links for examples of Precinct and Village maps.
Each map includes many 19th century features such as:
* toll roads, railroads and canals
* post offices and government sites
* schoolhouses, churches and cemeteries
* rivers, streams and ferries
* race tracks, fair grounds and picnic groves
* industrial sites, furnaces and mills
* early property ownership, homesteads and farms
-and much more
The abridged Historical Atlas of Henderson and Union Counties, Kentucky
may be an invaluable aid to Genealogists, Historians and researchers in
search of 19th century Henderson and Union County places and place
names. These early maps often contain many places that no longer exist
or that have been obscured over time; the location of property owners,
businesses, churches and cemeteries may assist genealogical researchers
interested in Kentucky history.
The Adobe Acrobat Reader for MS Windows is needed to view, zoom, pan and
print from the PDF map images contained in this atlas; and is included

created and configured using the latest version of the Adobe Acrobat
