About this map

Union City straddles the state line in this 1960 survey, serving as a significant rail hub where the Pennsylvania Railroad and the New York Central Railroad converge. The urban core is flanked by the Little Mississinewa River and the City Drain, highlighting a landscape shaped by both natural drainage and deliberate civil engineering. Outside the city, the region is dotted with rural settlements like New Lisbon, Hill Grove, and South Salem, reflecting a stable agricultural community defined by its township boundaries and country roads.

Genealogists will find several notable burial sites and religious centers, including Spring Hill Cem near Greenville Creek and the St Marys Ch with its adjacent St Marys Cem. The map also captures the local infrastructure of the era, from the Township High Sch to the municipal Waterworks, providing a clear view of the area's mid-century development before modern highway expansions changed the character of these border towns.
