1984 Map of Union Center

About this map

Union Center and the surrounding farmland of Cumberland County are defined by a network of drainage creeks in this 1980s-era study. The landscape is a patchwork of agricultural fields and small rural settlements like Maple Point and Vevay Park, where the local economy transitions from traditional farming to natural resource extraction. Active Oil Field operations and a Gravel Pit appear alongside the waterways of Hurricane Creek and Crooked Creek. The eastern edge of the quadrangle shows the suburban fringe and transportation infrastructure of a larger neighboring community, including the Muni Airport and the rail line of the Casey Corp. This map captures the region's character just as modern land-use patterns were solidifying over the historical rural townships of Union and Greenup.
