2020 Map of Unity

About this map

The borderlands of Union and Lancaster counties are defined here by a dense network of country roads and family-named landmarks. The landscape is dotted with centers of community worship and memory, including Walkersville Presbyterian Church Cem and the Tirzah Presbyterian Church Cem. Aviation is surprisingly prominent in this rural setting, with facilities like the JAARS-Townsend Airport and the Unity Aerodrome serving the region. Small rural hubs such as Sapps Crossroads and Lingles Crossroads anchor the eastern side of the map, while numerous small waterways like Cane Cr and Waxhaw Cr drain the rolling terrain. This 2020 record captures the enduring rural character of the South Carolina-North Carolina state line, where modern infrastructure meets long-established settlements and cemeteries.
