2014 Map of Union

About this map

Greene County’s rural landscape is defined here by the convergence of the West Alabama black belt and the winding tributaries of the Sipsey River system. Historically significant family burial grounds and community landmarks are frequent, including Union Christian Church Cem and the Pleasant Hill Cem near the headwaters of Murphy Br. This 2014 survey documents the enduring spatial layout of small settlements like Union and Clinton, where the road network follows the undulating terrain between creek drainages. The south-central portion of the map near Eutaw reveals significant water features such as McLean Lake Number 1 and McMillan Pond, while the northern reaches are dominated by the extensive basin of Trussells Cr. The distribution of cemeteries like Roden Cem and Hick Cem across the wooded hillsides provides a roadmap for genealogists tracing ancestral homesteads in this corner of the state.
