About this map

The industrial and riverfront character of Warren is captured at the convergence of the Allegheny River and Conewango Creek. This mid-century survey documents the transition from the concentrated urban core of the borough to the surrounding petroleum and timber lands. Heavy industry and infrastructure are evident in the Sewage Disposal plant, the extensive Conrail rail lines, and the designated Oil Field on the eastern heights.

Beyond the town center, the map reveals smaller outlying communities like Starbrick and Venturetown, alongside recreational and conservation areas including Washington Park and the sprawling Allegheny National Forest. Notable local landmarks like the Drive-in Theater near Jackson Crossing and various family or community burial grounds, such as Yankee Bush Cem and Oakland Cem, provide essential details for genealogists and local historians tracking the mid-20th-century footprint of Warren County.
