Surveying in Union County
Union County is one of Florida's smallest counties by both area and population. The predominantly rural landscape features timber plantations, cattle operations, and scattered rural homesteads with limited subdivision development.
The Santa Fe River runs along the county's southern boundary, and the New River flows through its center. These blackwater streams create modest flood zones and contribute to the county's rural character.
Survey work in Union County typically involves rural property boundary determinations, estate subdivisions, and agricultural parcel divisions where original Government Land Office corners may be the primary reference points.
