Union Mills is a small place in Nevada County, California. It is known as an "unincorporated community." This means it's a group of homes or buildings that isn't officially a city or town with its own local government.
What is an Unincorporated Community?
An unincorporated community is a place where people live, but it doesn't have its own city hall or mayor. Instead, the county government helps manage things like roads and services for the area. Union Mills is one of these places.
Where is Union Mills Located?
Union Mills is found in a spot called Union Valley. It's about 4.5 miles (which is about 7.2 kilometers) east-northeast of a bigger town called Truckee. Truckee is a well-known town in the Sierra Nevada mountains.
This community is quite high up! It sits at an elevation of 5,853 feet (or 1,784 meters) above sea level. Being so high means it's in a mountainous area, which often has different weather than places closer to the coast.
