About this map

The town of Union serves as a focal point in the early 1970s, situated at the intersection of local transport and the Gulf Mobile and Ohio railroad line. This survey details the borderlands of Neshoba Co and Newton Co, where a network of rural churches and cemeteries, such as Cross Roads Ch and County Line Cem, provide a structural framework for the local community. The landscape is heavily dissected by small waterways including Chunky Creek, Rock Creek, and Fulton Creek, which dictate the placement of early settlements and agricultural field lines.

Industrial activity is noted through scattered Sandpit locations, while educational and community life is anchored by the Beulah-Hubbard Sch and the County Line Community Club. Smaller hamlets like Little Rock, Greenland, and Beulah are mapped alongside family-named landmarks like Laird Branch and Hallman Br, offering a clear look at the region before significant modern development altered these traditional community hubs.
