About this map

Union serves as the seat of justice for Monroe County, centered around the Monroe County Courthouse and the Monroe County Magistrate Court. The landscape is defined by the sharp elevations of Swoopes Knobs and Little Mountain, which frame a network of valley settlements including Lillydale, Zenith, and Salt Sulphur Springs. The latter site is noted for its medicinal waters, with Salt Sulphur Spring, Iodine Spring, and Sweet Sulphur Spring clustered along the highway.

Genealogical researchers will find numerous burial sites throughout the township, from the central Green Hill Cem to the outlying Old Rehobeth Cem and Saint John's Church Cem. This modern survey traces the enduring rural infrastructure of the region, where family names are etched into the terrain at Field Hollow, Pynes Mountain, and Wallace Hollow. Transport in the area is anchored by rural routes like Zenith Rd and the Willow Bend Airport, while the hydrology is dominated by Indian Creek and its many tributaries.
