1950 Map of Union City

About this map

The St Joseph River and Coldwater River converge at Union City, creating a landscape defined by water power and winding drainage. The mid-century topography reflects an established agricultural and social network, marked by an exceptionally dense distribution of rural one-room schoolhouses such as Old Red Sch, Cobblestone Sch, and Francisco Sch. The Michigan Central Railroad cuts across the terrain, serving the Burlington Sta and connecting these farming communities to broader regional markets.
