About this map

Sturgis serves as the primary hub in this Union County landscape, where a grid of streets meets the winding course of the Tradewater River. The area is defined by a series of named elevations such as Blueberry Hill and Carding Machine Hill, which rise above the agricultural flats and creek bottoms. This 2010 survey documents a distribution of small rural settlements including Bethel, Arnold, and Hazel, each linked by a network of named country roads and former rail corridors like Railroad Bed Rd.

For genealogists and local historians, the map is particularly useful for its placement of several burial grounds, including Salem Cemetery, Mount Gilead Cemetery, and Pythian Ridge Cemetery. These sites, along with landmarks like the Sturgis Municipal Airport, provide clear anchors for tracing family properties and community development across the rural terrain north of the Tradewater River and its tributaries like Dyson Creek and Eagle Creek.
