1970 Map of Warba

About this map

Warba and the surrounding townships of Blackberry and Feeley are defined by a complex network of wetlands and glacial lakes in this 1970 survey. The Burlington Northern railroad cuts a straight diagonal across the marshy lowlands near the small settlement of Philbin, paralleling a major pipeline corridor. This transport-heavy corridor contrasts with the irregular meanders of the Swan River, which flows through the eastern half of the quadrangle. Local genealogy and community life are anchored by the Trout Lake Cem and Trout Lake Ch in the north, and the Feeley Cem located just outside Warba. Small-scale aviation is represented by private facilities like the Flying K Ranch Landing Strip, while several Gravel Pits indicate the local extraction industry during the early 1970s.
