About this map

The Salamonie River winds through the heart of this mid-century landscape, anchoring the town of Warren where the New York Chicago and St Louis railroad intersects with the local road network. The map reveals a transition between rural townships such as Salamonie, Jefferson, and Rock Creek, which are dotted with small family-named burial grounds including Taylor Cem and West Union Cem. A notable localized landmark is the Water Methodist Home situated near the town center.

Agricultural and drainage patterns are well-defined by a series of small waterways, specifically Weasel Creek, Black Creek, and Owl Creek. To the north, the small settlement of Plum Tree stands near the edge of the quadrangle, while the southwestern corner reaches the crossroads at Milo. The inclusion of a Waste Disposal site and the precise location of benchmark 831 in Warren provide specific reference points for researchers of 1950s infrastructure and local genealogy.
