1906 Map of Warren

About this map

Warren sits at the confluence of Conewango Creek and the Allegheny River, serving as a busy industrial and transit hub at the start of the twentieth century. The landscape is defined by its complex network of transportation, including the Pennsylvania RR and the Warren and Jamestown Electric RR which follow the river valleys. A significant portion of the area is occupied by the State Insane Asylum and its associated Farm Colony, indicating the large-scale social institutions of the era. To the south, the Allegheny National Forest begins to dominate the terrain, while numerous small settlements like Russell and Ackley anchor the rural townships. The presence of numerous named schools, such as Dutch Hill School and Scranton Hollow School, provides a dense map for genealogists tracing family locations across Farmington and Glade townships.
