TOPOGRAPHY – Page 666

Warrington was reduced in its limits in 1803, by the formation of Washington out 
of the southwestern end of it, and as at present formed has for its northern 
boundary the township of Carroll, Monaghan and a portion of Fairview, with 
Newberry to the east, Dover to the south, and Washington to the west.  The 
surface is undulating and portions of it mountainous.  There is a great variety 
of soil, some of which is very fertile.  It is drained by the Conewago and its 
branches.  The general slope of the land is southward.
