About this map

Unionville and the surrounding crossroads of northern Union County define this landscape during the early 1970s. The map captures a transition toward modern connectivity with the Seaboard Coast Line railroad and Monroe Airport serving the region's transport needs. Despite this growth, the area remains deeply rooted in its local heritage, evidenced by the numerous country sanctuaries such as Union Grove Ch, Mill Grove Ch, and Watts Grove Ch.

The hydrography of the region is dominated by the sprawling tributaries of Goose Creek, including its North Fork and South Fork. These waterways wind between historic community centers like Bentons Crossroads and Fowler Crossroads, while landmarks such as the Rolling Hills Country Club and the Fairgrounds near the northern edge of Monroe show the evolving social character of the county seat's outskirts. For genealogists, the inclusion of sites like the Mill Grove Ch Cem and Ritch Cem provides specific points for tracing local family history.
