2018 Map of Union West

About this map

Union anchors the southeastern corner of this landscape at the junction of Neshoba and Newton counties. The town is situated just south of the Union Municipal Airport and west of the winding Chunky Cr, which drains the local watershed toward the southeast. The area is characterized by a series of small, dispersed rural settlements such as Neshoba, Stratton, Lucern, and Dover, each connected by a complex network of county roads. For genealogists and local historians, the presence of several community burial sites, including Neshoba Cem, Beech Springs Cem, and Abney Cem, provides valuable markers of family heritage and settlement patterns in this part of Mississippi. The terrain is defined by numerous small watercourses like Sipsey Cr and Conehatta Cr, which dictate the placement of roads and homesteads across the rolling hills.
