2014 Map of Union East

About this map

Sumter National Forest blankets much of this area east of Union, where residential developments like South Hills and New Hill meet the edge of the woodland. The eastern portion of the city is characterized by established neighborhoods and industrial heritage, notably around Monarch Mill. Educational and civic life is anchored by the Univ of South Carolina-Union campus, while numerous burial grounds such as Hebron Cem, McBride Cem, and Cane Creek Cem provide significant touchstones for genealogical research. The landscape is carved by a network of waterways including Tinker Cr, Brushy Cr, and Big Browns Cr, which define the drainage patterns of this Piedmont terrain. In the south, the community of Santuc sits at a junction of historic travel routes, maintaining a distinct rural identity apart from the primary urban center.
