2011 Map of Warm Springs

About this map

Warm Springs and the surrounding rural communities of Palestine, Hamil, and Antioch define the landscape of northern Randolph County at the turn of the 21st century. This region is characterized by a high concentration of small, family-named burial grounds and local landmarks, including Whittenberg Cemetery, Spikes Cemetery, and Looney Cemetery, which provide essential touchpoints for genealogical research. The terrain is a network of ridges and water sources, such as Phillips Knob and Green Fork Creek, interspersed with natural springs like Cowden Spring and Wooldridge Spring. Significant water management is evident through a series of dams and reservoirs along the tributaries, such as the Fourche Creek Site 17 Reservoir and Wallace Lake. The presence of numerous old roads and trails, including Sleepy Hollow Trl and Pawnee Trl, indicates a persistent rural settlement pattern that follows the natural contours and creek beds of the area.
