About this map

Unionville and the community of Watson anchor this North Carolina landscape, where small-town life is defined by a dense network of family-named roads and rural congregations. The topography is marked by notable elevations such as Polk Mtn and the local landmark Bachelors Knob Rd, while the waterways of Richardson Creek and Little Miller Cr drain the central territory.

Genealogical researchers will find significant value in the distribution of historic burial grounds and churches, including Shiloh Advent Church Cem and Mill Creek Baptist Church Cem. The coexistence of traditional agricultural patterns alongside modern aviation at Arant Airport and recreation at Lake Twitty illustrates the gradual transition of Union County. From the larger settlement of Wingate in the south to the small crossroads of Fairfield, the map documents the established social infrastructure of country churches and schools like the one on Piedmont School Rd.
