About this map

Tab stands as a rail-centered community in the heart of Warren County, where the north-south Conrail line intersects with the east-west Norfolk and Western tracks. The prominence of grain elevators at the rail junction reflects the agricultural industry of the surrounding prairie. This area, largely settled along the divide between the Hickory Grove and Prairie townships, maintains its traditional social hubs at Locust Grove, featuring the Locust Grove Ch, a Cem, and the nearby Township Sch.

The landscape is etched by the meandering courses of Jordan Creek, Goose Creek, and Judy Creek, which provide drainage for the expansive farmland. A legacy of local transportation and land use is visible in named routes like Hungry Hollow Road and the industrial presence of a Gravel Pit in the northern reaches of the quadrangle. The map details the transition of the region from a purely rural landscape to one influenced by mid-century rail corridors.
