About this map

The University of South Carolina Regional Campus serves as a modern anchor for the eastern side of Union, where the city’s residential streets begin to yield to the creek-carved landscape of the Piedmont. In the early 21st century, this area shows a transition from the industrial and urbanized corridors of Monarch and New Hill to the rural expanses surrounding Santuc and Carem. The map records an extensive network of family and community burial grounds, including Rosemont Cemetery, Hebron Cemetery, and Cane Creek Cemetery, which offer valuable locations for genealogical research.

Water management is prominent throughout the terrain, evidenced by features like the Union Water Works Pond and Foster Park Lake. These reservoirs and their associated dams, such as Union Water Works Pond Dam D-2154, highlight the infrastructure required to support the growing population in neighborhoods like South Hills. The drainage of the land is defined by the winding paths of Tinker Creek and Gregorys Creek, which flow through the undulating territory east of the city center.
