About this map

Agricultural development and rail logistics characterize this portion of Warren County during the early 1960s. The small settlement of Tab serves as a focal point for local commerce, evidenced by the prominent Elevators and Storage Bins situated along the New York Central railroad line. This infrastructure reflects the region's reliance on efficient grain transport from the surrounding prairie. To the north, the New York Chicago and St Louis line cuts across the landscape near Goose Creek.

Local civic life is anchored by the Township Sch and the Locust Grove Cem near the historic Locust Grove site. The terrain is defined by a network of drainage ditches and creeks, including Jordans Creek and Farrell Ditch, which manage the water levels of the flat till plains. Notable landmarks such as a Gravel Pit and the descriptively named Hungry Hollow Road provide specific points of interest for those studying the mid-century rural landscape.
