About this map

Warrenton serves as the focal point of this 1970s Warren County landscape, showing the town's layout alongside neighboring East Warrenton and Silvertown. The map captures the region's transition into the late 20th century, with purple revisions from 1981 indicating suburban growth and new structures like the High Sch and local substations. The industrial and transport backbone of the area is well-defined by the CSX and Central of Georgia railroad lines, which connect the smaller settlements of Camak and Norwood.

Genealogists will find a wealth of specific local landmarks, including numerous family and church-affiliated burial sites such as Scruggs Cem, McDaniel Cem, and Sallie Hill Cem. The rural character of the county is preserved through the mapping of small country congregations like Walkers Chapel and Bethel Ch. Water features like the Warrenton City Pond and the winding course of Rocky Comfort Creek anchor the topography, illustrating the natural drainage patterns of this Georgia Piedmont terrain.
