About this map

The town of Afton serves as the central hub of this eastern Union County landscape, situated at the intersection of local routes and the rail corridor. The map highlights the town's civic importance through the presence of the Union County Fairgrounds and the Afton Post Office. This area is defined by a dense network of waterways, including the winding Threemile Creek and Twelvemile Creek, along with the significant recreational and water resources of Three Mile Lake and Lake Afton.

Genealogists will find substantial value in the documented burial sites across the township, such as Green Lawn Cemetery, Calvary Cemetery, Cedar Grove Cemetery, and the Norris Family Cemetery. The terrain is characterized by a structured grid of agricultural roads, including Creamery Rd and Pheasant Ave, which connect isolated farmsteads to the commercial center. The eastern edge of the quadrangle is marked by the course of the Thompson River and Loefler Creek, illustrating the drainage patterns that shaped early settlement in the region.
