2016 Map of Union

About this map

Union and the surrounding rural communities of Hertford County are defined by a complex network of slow-moving coastal plain waterways and localized crossroads settlements. The landscape is dominated by the broad basins of Ahoskie Creek and Cutawhiskie Cr, which create intricate wetland patterns between higher ground. Educational infrastructure is anchored by the Roanoke-Chowan Community Coll located near the eastern edge of the survey area. Small, named locales like Fraziers Crossroads, Saint John, and the interestingly named Poor Town illustrate the traditional settlement patterns of the Inner Banks region. Further south, the community of Millennium sits near the edge of the sheet, while northern landmarks like Benthalls Bridge and Knights Bridge provide historical crossing points over the winding Potecasi Cr. The map also highlights family-named terrain features such as Buffalo Island, tucked between creek branches.
