About this map

Warren serves as the focal point for this 1969 field survey, situated at the confluence of the Salamonie River and several drainage routes including Detamore Ditch. The landscape reflects a mix of small-town infrastructure and rural extraction, characterized by numerous Oil Wells and a Gassing Sta dotting the countryside. Higher education and community life are represented by the Jr High Sch and Tower Park, while the local economy is supported by the Norfolk and Western rail line.

Surrounding the town, the agricultural plains of Salamonie and Jefferson townships are punctuated by several small cemeteries, such as Woodlawn Cem and Redmen Cem, which offer significant value for genealogists. The northwestern corner is dominated by the Salamonie Reservoir, a major hydraulic feature that dictates the local drainage of Lancaster Brook. The map also captures several outlying hamlets including Plum Tree and Milo, providing a clear record of the settlement patterns along the Huntington, Grant, and Wells county lines.
