1966 Map of Warrenton

About this map

Warrenton serves as a focal point for the surrounding Piedmont landscape in the mid-1960s, showing a transition between established town life and the agricultural reaches of Fauquier County. The map details the educational and civic backbone of the area through landmarks like Taylor High Sch, Central Sch, and St Johns Sch, alongside localized settlements such as Fletcherville and Meetze. To the west, the Rappahannock River defines the county line near the historic Fauquier White Sulphur Springs, while the Southern railroad line cuts through the eastern terrain toward Frytown. The presence of the U S Military Res Warrenton Training Center northwest of town and the Whitney State Forest to the south highlights the diverse land use of the era, from government installations to preserved woodlands.
