About this map

The Salamonie River winds diagonally through this mid-century landscape, acting as the primary geographical anchor for the town of Warren. This settlement serves as a local hub, where the New York Chicago and St Louis railroad intersects the river, marking a point of industrial and transit importance. Notable landmarks such as the Water Methodist Home stand near the town center, while smaller outlying settlements like Plum Tree and Milo illustrate the dispersed agricultural character of the region.

A network of family and community history is preserved across several local burial grounds, including Redmen Cem, West Union Cem, Taylor Cem, and Cady Cem. The topography is defined by the river’s drainage basin, with tributaries like Weasel Creek, Black Creek, and Owl Creek carving subtle paths through the terrain. The map also delineates several township boundaries, such as Salamonie and Jefferson, providing a clear view of the mid-twentieth-century civic organization across Huntington, Grant, and Wells Counties.
