1932 Map of Union City

About this map

Union City serves as a significant rail junction where the Erie RR and Pennsylvania RR intersect, defining the industrial and logistical character of the region in the late 1920s. The landscape is marked by the broad French Creek Flats and numerous small rural settlements like Mill Village and Lincolnville. This era shows a dense network of one-room schoolhouses, including Hatch Hollow Sch and Emerson Sch, which anchored local communities before the consolidation of rural districts. The map also traces the Roosevelt Highway as it cuts through the terrain, connecting small hamlets such as Arbuckle and Barton. Water features like Canadohta Lake and Le Boeuf Lake appear alongside family-named landmarks like Ferris Corners and Foxburg Corners, offering a detailed record of the agrarian and early-automotive landscape during a time of transition between traditional farming and modern infrastructure.
