About this map

The town of Union serves as the hub for this Mississippi landscape, positioned where the Neshoba and Newton county line meets a significant rail junction. Two major railroads, the Gulf Mobile and Ohio and the Illinois Central Gulf, intersect here, defining the town’s development and industrial reach near Memorial Park. Beyond the rail corridors, the terrain transitions into a patchwork of rural settlements and agricultural fields drained by numerous waterways, including Fulton Creek and Double Reed Brake.

Local history is preserved in a network of community landmarks such as the Beulah-Hubbard School and several rural congregations. Notable churches and their associated grounds, like Cross Roads Ch and the Mt Zion Cem, are scattered across the topography. Smaller named locales like Greenland and Beulah are connected by a web of local roads, while features like the Lookout Tower and Community Club highlight the civic and resource management of the early 1970s.
