2011 Map of Union

About this map

Union stands as the central point of this Northeastern North Dakota landscape, situated between the winding forks of the Park River. The area is defined by a series of water management structures along the Middle Branch Park River, including Number 8 Dam, 9 Dam, and Number 10 Dam. These dams and the adjacent Lake Charlie reflect a highly managed prairie hydrology. Family and community history is anchored by the West Zion Cemetery near the town site and the Langemo Pioneer Cemetery further east, suggesting early Norwegian settlement patterns. The map detail shows a strict section-line road grid, including County Rd 1 and County Hwy 7, which facilitates the region's agricultural layout. Small family landmarks like Eirikson Ln and Erikson Ln further highlight the local heritage of this Cavalier County township.
