1979 Map of Unionville East

About this map

Unionville serves as the primary hub on this northern Missouri landscape, situated near the headwaters of numerous creeks that drain southward toward the Putnam Co Sullivan Co line. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of North Blackbird Creek and South Blackbird Creek, which carve through the townships of Union, Lincoln, and Richland. This 1970s survey reveals a rural economy transitioning from traditional farming toward heavy industry, evidenced by extensive Strip Mine operations that follow the drainage of Richland Creek. Local genealogy is well-preserved through numerous family and community landmarks, including Christian Home Ch and a high density of rural burial grounds like Anders Cem and Pherigo Cem. Small settlements such as Rosewood and leisure features like the Country Club reflect the social fabric of the county during this era.
