About this map

Union City straddles the Indiana-Ohio state line, serving as a dual-state hub where the industrial and agricultural worlds meet. This 1960 survey, with revisions through the early 1980s, documents the infrastructure of a border community, including the Union City Cemetery and the local Hospital. The surrounding landscape of Jackson and Wayne townships is defined by a systematic network of drainage ditches like Shelly Ditch and the winding course of the Mississinewa River.

Smaller rural settlements and crossroads provide critical context for genealogists, featuring locations such as New Lisbon, South Salem, and Hill Grove. The map details the placement of numerous country churches and cemeteries, including St Marys Ch and Spring Hill Cem, alongside public landmarks like the Township High Sch. The intersection of regional transit is evident via the Union City Road and various established routes such as Beamsville Road.
