1961 Map of York Center

About this map

The Greenville Treaty Line cuts a historic diagonal across this Union County landscape, marking an enduring boundary in the Virginia Military District. Primarily agricultural in 1961, the region is defined by the winding paths of Rush Creek and Bokes Creek, which dictate the placement of small rural hubs like York Center and Byhalia. These communities supported a network of country institutions, including Grace Chapel and the Camp Union school, along with several family-named burial grounds such as Burnside Cem.
