How to Use This Union, Michigan Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Union, Michigan. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of Michigan or beyond.

Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).

TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Union.

Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.

Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

Union occupies a quiet expanse of southwestern Michigan where the horizon stretches flat and wide, defined by the steady work of seasons upon the soil. It lies 20.1 miles east of Niles, MI (from Niles, MI: bearing 98°T), and is situated 9.1 miles northeast of Elkhart. The land surrounding Union favors the patient geometry of farmland, broken only by the thin, purposeful cut of Washington Township Ditch that drains the lower meadows. A few miles to the west, the landscape dips into the Marl Pit, a basin that holds the shadows of a long-vanished geological era, while the nearby waters of Baldwins Lake catch the pale, amber light of late afternoon. Beyond these fields, the terrain retains a rugged, unpolished character, where the wind moves through dry stalks and tall grasses with a sound like a low, persistent hum.

Settlers arrived here to turn the heavy earth, establishing a modest pace of life that has persisted through the changing demands of the regional economy. The labor of the fields remains the primary pulse of the locality, though the nearby Pipewort Pond Nature Preserve offers a quiet refuge where the wilder, marshy corners of the state remain undisturbed by the plow. Those who dwell in Union know the specific texture of the air when the harvest is in, a crisp clarity that renders the distant trees sharp against the sky. History here is marked not by grand monuments, but by the steady maintenance of fences and the slow, circular turning of the year, ensuring that the character of the place remains as grounded as the dark, fertile loam beneath the boots of its inhabitants.

About This Union Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Union, Michigan. Coordinates: 41.78616, -85.867776. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.

Detailed location data for Union includes the ZIP code (49130, 49094), telephone area code (269), county seat of Cass County (Cassopolis), and school district assignment.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any US town, county or landmark by name; offers USGS topographic maps and USGS aerial imagery as base layers; overlays a labelled U.S. National Grid (USNG) so the map can be read like a printed topographic quad; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a USNG grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.

Location data is drawn from the USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and cross-verified against 2020 US Census records by coordinate proximity. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
