1962 Map of Warda

USGS Topo · Published 1989

About this map

Rabbs Creek and its many tributaries, including Bowns Creek and Greens Creek, carve through this landscape at the boundary of Lee and Fayette counties. In the early 1960s, the rural community of Warda centered around Holy Cross Sch, while further north, the settlement of Northrup sat near St Paul Ch. The map reveals a countryside where traditional landmarks like the Foerster Cem exist alongside modern developments like a Radio Tower Substa and a Youth Camp. The proliferation of Oil Wells across the northern half of the quadrangle suggests the significant impact of petroleum extraction on the local economy during this period. Further industrial activity is evidenced by a Refinery and Gravel Pit near Cedar Creek, illustrating the transition from a strictly agricultural region to one shaped by resource exploration.
