About this map

Unionville and the town of Wingate anchor this portrait of Union County's agricultural and rural residential character. The landscape is defined by the dendritic drainage of Richardson Creek and its many tributaries, including Watson Creek, Grassy Creek, and Salem Creek. This network of waterways influenced the local road system, where routes like Sikes Mill Road and Haigler Gin Road hint at the area's milling and cotton history.

Genealogical interest is particularly high due to the density of family and community burial grounds, such as the Josiah Austin Cemetery, Strawn-Treadway Cemetery, and Williams Cemetery. Local aviation is represented by Arant Airport and Mc Donald Field, while prominent religious landmarks like Fairfield Baptist Church and Shiloh Advent Church serve as historic centers for the communities of Fairfield and Watson.
