About this map

The eastern edges of Warrensburg transition into the rolling agricultural lands of Johnson County in this 2017 survey. The landscape is defined by the dendritic drainage of the Blackwater River and its many tributaries, including Blackjack Cr, Colburn Br, and Ham Br. This drainage pattern influenced early settlement and cemetery placement, with several family and community burial grounds located on higher terrain overlooking the creek beds.

Genealogists can identify several historic burial sites, such as Liberty Cem in the north and Maxwell Cem near the town center, while Adams Cem sits near the topographic rise of Bristle Ridge. To the east, the small community of Montserrat marks the edge of the quadrangle. The map captures the modern expansion of Warrensburg streets, such as E Russell Ave and E Gay St, as they push into former farmland once dominated by rural township boundaries.
