===Geographic features===
The [[Green River (Kentucky)|Green River]] forms the northern boundary of the county, and was a means of transportation for settlers. Tributaries of the Green River that flow through Warren County are the [[Barren River|Barren]] and [[Gasper River|Gasper]] rivers, [[Drakes Creek (Barren River)|Drake's]] and [[Jennings Creek (Kentucky)|Jennings]] creeks and [[Bay's Fork]]. In the north the land is possibly the most rugged, since it lies between the Green and [[Barren River|Barren]] rivers, with very tall ridges near Riverside and Richardsville. The major drainage in Warren county is Barren River, which flows through Bowling Green and is surrounded by steep ridges in some areas. Several sizable hills rise in Bowling Green proper. They were favored for forts and other development: a reservoir, hospital, and Civil War fort were built on one; much of [[Western Kentucky University]]'s campus on another; Hobson Grove, a historic Italian Renaissance style civil war era plantation estate on another; and a second civil war fort on another. In the east the land is rolling (much like central Kentucky's landscape) near Drakes Creek. The land in the south and southwest of the county is predominantly flat. In the western side of the county, the land is hilly with steep ridges and rocky and cliff-ridden near [[Gasper River]]. [[Shanty Hollow Lake]] is in the northwest corner of the county.

The flat elevated areas in the west and the flatland in the south and southwest have soil that is fertile and supports [[tobacco]], [[hay]], [[maize|corn]] and [[soybean]] crop production. The rest of the land is predominantly clay soil; it is rocky and not very suitable for agriculture. Many residents rear livestock and horses, or hunt in these areas.
