1969 Map of Union Center

About this map

The Sabana River winds through the central Eastland County landscape, shaping a terrain defined by small farming communities and emerging petroleum interests in the late 1960s. Scattered settlements like Romney, Union Center, and Okra anchor the rural road network, while the presence of several Oil Wells across the quadrangle indicates the industrial footprint of the era. The land is drained by a network of waterways including Elm Creek, Yellow Branch, and Long Branch, the latter of which lends its name to the local Long Branch Ch.
