About this map

Berwick stands as the primary community in this portion of Warren County, where the transition between the rolling uplands of Lenox and Floyd townships and the creek valleys of Roseville is clearly defined. The landscape is characterized by its agricultural heritage and the quiet infrastructure of rural life, evidenced by the Old Railroad Grade and the Pipeline that traverse the northern sections.

Genealogists can find significant local landmarks such as Silent Home Cem and Lenox Union Cem, which serve as physical ties to the early families of settlements like Nemo, Ormonde, and Phelps. The drainage patterns of South Henderson Creek and Cedar Creek dictate the local topography, carving deep valleys that break up the grid of section lines. This document captures the persistence of these small communities and their rural institutions, including Fairview Center Ch, during the late twentieth century.
