About this map

The town of Macon serves as the central hub of this northern Warren County landscape, situated where local routes converge amid a network of creeks and branches. To the east, the settlement of Vaughan sits near the headwaters of Hubquarter Cr, while the southern reaches of the map are defined by the crossroads at Embro and the winding course of Little Fishing Cr. The terrain is characterized by a high density of named family roads and historic cemeteries, such as Greenwood Cem, which provide significant value for genealogists tracing family footprints across these rural tracts.

In the northeast corner, the shoreline of Lake Gaston reaches into the quadrangle, creating a distinct transition from the agricultural and timbered interior to a water-oriented landscape. Creeks like Sixpound Cr and Walkers Cr carve through the countryside, illustrating the natural drainage patterns that have historically dictated the placement of homesteads and small communities like Oakville and Church Hill.
