About this map

Uniontown serves as the primary hub of this 1968 landscape, situated along the Southern railroad corridor at the boundary of Perry and Dallas Counties. The area's mid-century rural character is defined by a network of local institutions, including Hinton Sch and several country churches like St Marys Ch and New Hope Ch. The presence of Vaiden Field (USAF) and a secondary Airfield indicates the region's strategic aviation importance during the Cold War era.

Topography is shaped by the winding paths of Mud Creek and Chilatchee Creek, which drain the undulating terrain south of the rail line. Small settlements such as Tayloe and Bellevue dot the landscape along the railway, while industrial infrastructure is represented by several prominent Pipelines traversing the southern portion of the quadrangle. For genealogists, the map preserves the locations of family-named landmarks and rural schools like White Hill Sch, offering a detailed view of the community's distribution before modern consolidation.
