1961 Map of Pine Village

About this map

Big Pine Creek and its tributary Mud Pine Creek carve a winding course through the agricultural landscape of Warren County. In the early 1960s, this area centered on the town of Pine Village, showing a rural community defined by its watercourses and scattered family settlements. The map reveals a high density of small family and community burial grounds, such as Smith Cem, Hooker Cem, and Van Reed Cem, providing essential clues for genealogical research in Pine and Adams townships. Downstream, the settlement of Rainsville sits near a prominent bend in the creek, while locations like Hooker Corner and Brisco represent the persistent crossroads of the rural interior. The presence of a Gravel Pit and the named Rocky Ford highlight the intersection of local geology with early transportation and industry.
