THE UNION LAND BRIEF
Land in the
Missouri Plateau setting.
Union township has 141.2 square miles of land in Butte County. Its Census reference point is in Missouri Plateau, within Northwestern Great Plains.
Rolling semiarid plains are punctuated by buttes, badlands and river breaks. Much of the regional terrain developed on sandstone, siltstone and shale without the leveling influence of continental glaciers.

Union and Butte County
Union is associated with Butte 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 0.64 square miles of water within Union, or 0.5% of its total area. It is 0.3 percentage points lower than the 0.7% recorded for Butte County. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.
For scale, Union township has 3.9 times the land area of nearby Eagle township (36.3 square miles). These areas describe boundaries, not comparable property prices.
