2019 Map of Warrenton

About this map

Warrenton and Norlina anchor this survey of central Warren County, where the landscape is defined by the headwaters of numerous creeks draining toward the Piedmont's rolling divide. The drainage network is particularly dense here, featuring the branching stems of Fishing Cr, Horse Cr, and Possomquarter Cr. This 2019 data reveals how local roads like Old Reavis Mill Rd and Wise Five Forks Rd follow the high ground between these watercourses, maintaining a settlement pattern that connects established communities like Warren Plains and Ridgeway. For the genealogist or local historian, the map identifies critical burial sites across the township, including the Old Warrenton Cem, Fairview Cem, and the more rural Whites Grove Cem. The proximity of settlements like Snow Hill and Wise to the branching paths of Reedy Br and Cabin Br illustrates the enduring relationship between the area's geography and its historical development.
