1960 Map of Union City

About this map

Union City straddles the Indiana Ohio border, serving as a dual-state hub where the Conrail rail lines converge and the Little Mississinewa River begins its course. The landscape is defined by its agricultural grid and the clear division between Jackson, Wayne, and Washington townships. This 1960s survey, updated in the early 1980s, documents the town's expansion with purple-tinted urban extensions around the Township High Sch and Calvary Cem. Beyond the city center, numerous rural landmarks provide significant genealogical value, including McFarland Cem and New Lisbon Cem near the small settlement of New Lisbon. The drainage patterns, marked by Dismal Creek and Shelly Ditch, illustrate the efforts to manage the low-lying terrain of Darke and Randolph Counties, while local crossroads like Haysville Corner and Buckhorn Corner anchor the surrounding farming community.
