2020 Map of Union East

About this map

Union sits at the western edge of this landscape, where the municipal grid meets the headwaters of several key central Mississippi drainage systems. The survey area spans the border of Neshoba Co and Newton Co, a rural landscape defined by a network of creek branches and small agricultural settlements like Greenland, Rock Creek, and Little Rock. For those researching family history, the map identifies several local burial grounds including Cross Roads Cem, Pine Grove Cem, and Greenland Cem. The terrain is deeply carved by waterways such as Chunky Cr, Fulton Cr, and Nelson Cr, which historically influenced the placement of original county roads and farmsteads. This survey captures the modern road network, from Old State Hwy 494 to the numerous section-line routes that continue to serve this timber and farming region.
