1966 Map of Union

About this map

The Union city center and its surrounding Franklin County landscape are anchored by the winding path of the Bourbeuse River and the commercial corridor of the Chicago and Rock Island Pacific railroad. Mapping from the mid-1960s, with later updates to the urban boundary, shows the community's growth around the central Courthouse and local schools like Fairview School. The rural sections are dotted with family-named landmarks and essential local institutions, including St Johns Church and the Meyer, Peters, and Fees cemeteries, providing a clear record of established family plots and parish life.
