About this map

Union and its eastern industrial and residential extensions form the hub of this South Carolina landscape, where the textile heritage of Monarch Mill remains a central landmark. The transition from the city's denser streets to the rural south is marked by neighborhood developments like South Hills and the presence of the University of South Carolina - Union. Beyond the immediate outskirts of Monarch, the land opens into the Sumter National Forest, characterized by the complex drainage of Tinker Creek and Brushy Creek.

Genealogists will find a significant concentration of historic burial sites throughout the quadrangle, from the Grace United Methodist Church Graveyard in the city to remote rural sites such as McBride Cem and the Hebron Church Graveyard. Smaller communities like Santuc and Carem anchor the southeastern portion of the map, where family-named features like Steen Cem and Gregory Cem reflect generations of local settlement near Big Browns Creek.
