About this map

Warren serves as the central hub of this Indiana landscape, situated at the intersection of several key drainage basins and civil boundaries. The Salamonie River cuts diagonally across the terrain, feeding into the expansive Salamonie Lake at the western edge, where the Salamonie Lake State Wildlife Management and Recreation Area was established. The map reveals a land heavily managed for agriculture and industry, evidenced by a dense network of drainage projects like Detamore Ditch and Wearley Ditch, alongside numerous Oil Wells scattered across Lancaster and Jefferson townships.

Local genealogy and social history are well represented by a high concentration of cemeteries and rural centers. Researchers can identify Woodlawn Cem, Redmen Cem, and Taylor Cem surrounding the main settlement, while smaller communities such as Plum Tree and Milo anchor the outlying agricultural districts. The presence of the West Union Ch and its associated West Union Cem in Rock Creek township further illustrates the religious and civic foundations of these 20th-century Hoosier communities.
