1947 Map of Unionville

About this map

Unionville and the winding course of the Duck River define the character of this Bedford County landscape in the late 1940s. The map illustrates a rural society organized around its waters and roads, where the river's path is marked by distinctive features like Shearin Bend and Tarpley Bluff. Local industry and connectivity are evident at Halls Mill and Anchor Mill, while numerous river crossings such as Britton Ford and Warner Bridge show how residents navigated the terrain.
