About this map

Warrenton and its adjacent neighbor Truesdale anchor this mid-1970s landscape, serving as a hub for the surrounding agricultural and industrial activities in Warren County. The Norfolk And Western railroad cuts a prominent path through the center, connecting the town centers with smaller outlying settlements like Pendleton and Graves. The map reveals a diversified local economy, ranging from the recreational and conservation lands of the Reifsnider State Forest and Warrenton State Wildlife Area to the numerous Claypits and a Quarry dotting the hillsides.

Genealogists will find a dense concentration of local history markers, including several rural churches and family-named cemeteries such as Steinhagen Ch Cem, Camp Branch Cem, and Lippstadt Ch Cem. The terrain is defined by distinct watersheds like Charrette Cr and Lost Creek, while historical land divisions like North Elkhorn and Pinckney provide insight into the township structures of the era. The presence of the KWRE radio tower and multiple trailer parks suggests the suburban growth expanding from the town core.
