The Union County Mississippi map centers on New Albany, with Myrtle in the northwest, Blue Springs and Sherman in the east, and Ingomar in the south. I-22, the Tallahatchie River, and the Tanglefoot Trail provide distinct manufacturing, drainage, travel, and recreation axes through rolling country.

The decennial count and July 2025 estimate use different reference dates. Land and water measurements come from the 2025 Gazetteer. The density of 66.8 residents per square mile divides the 2020 population by 2025 land area and does not imply an even distribution among cities, farms, forest, or wetland.
Reading the Union County Mississippi map
I-22/US 78 connects New Albany with Lee County to the east and the Marshall County direction to the west. MS 15 leads north toward Ripley and south toward Pontotoc, while MS 30 crosses rural areas. The Tanglefoot Trail is nonmotorized and should use a symbol distinct from highways.
Boundary, Water, and Terrain
The upper Tallahatchie River and tributaries flow between gentle ridges toward the Sardis Lake basin. There is no dominant lake, and woods, pasture, and fields form a varied mosaic. Interstate interchanges and the reused rail corridor emphasize the linear spacing of towns and employment sites.
The figures for Tallahatchie River and Tanglefoot Trail add scale to the visible pattern: 415.607 square miles are land and roughly 0.3 percent of the combined area is water. Read New Albany against Myrtle before looking toward Benton; this separates the county’s interior arrangement from its regional edge. Minor lanes on the Benton side are secondary to the broader regional relationship shown here.
Settlement and Regional Context
New Albany is the courthouse, retail, and medical center and the northern terminus of the Tanglefoot Trail. The Toyota Mississippi plant near Blue Springs anchors eastern manufacturing and commuting. The July 2025 estimate is roughly 2.5 percent above the 2020 census count.
Practical Map Uses
- Orient New Albany and Blue Springs along I-22
- Distinguish Tanglefoot Trail from motor roads
- Use Myrtle and Ingomar to compare northwest and south
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Toyota plant in downtown New Albany?
No. It is near Blue Springs in eastern Union County. New Albany remains the county service center, while the plant is a separate commuting destination.
What does Tallahatchie River add between New Albany, Myrtle, and the boundary with Benton?
New Albany and Myrtle locate communities, whereas Tallahatchie River explains terrain or drainage before the map reaches the Benton boundary.
