Land in the
Sand Area setting.

Glaciated plains historically supported tallgrass prairie mixed with oak and hickory woodland. Dark prairie soils and broad farming landscapes distinguish much of the Central Corn Belt.

Union and Jasper County
Union is associated with Jasper County in the Census boundary data. Start with the parcel’s tax bill to match the property to that jurisdiction, then confirm which government handles its land use.
Union by land and water
The Census records 0.19 square miles of water within Union, or 0.3% of its total area. That share is close to Jasper County’s 0.3%. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.
For scale, Union township has 213.6 times the land area of nearby Fair Oaks CDP (0.26 square miles). These areas describe boundaries, not comparable property prices.
