About this map

Union City straddles the state line in this survey of the Indiana-Ohio border region, serving as the primary hub for the surrounding agricultural townships. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of drainage ditches and small waterways, such as Little Ditch and O'Conner Ditch, which manage the headwaters of the Little Mississinewa River and Greenville Creek. This water management system is essential to the local farming economy, which is supported by a rigid grid of rural roads like E State Rd 32 and E-Union City Pike.

Genealogists will find a high density of small family and community burial grounds, including the Whitesell - Conklin Cemetery, Shockney Cemetery, and Hoover Cemetery. These sites, along with smaller settlements like New Lisbon and South Salem, provide a detailed record of the rural population centers that developed alongside the Little Mississinewa River. The presence of the Harter Park Trail indicates modern recreational use of the land adjacent to the historic town center.
