Warlock Country, also often referred to as Warlock Woods, was a name given to the large patch of woods that covered the area south of Lavallet subdivision to north of Wimbledon Drive, then east of the then-unpaved Spanish Trail to west of Scenic Highway. It included the neighborhood now known as Silverleaf. The name became popular during the mid-to-late 1960's, and lasted until the mid-70's. How it got this name is subject to conjecture, but is most likely a hoax. There were no serious reports of actual witchcraft that took place there, and the area was mostly used as a getaway for teenagers who needed a place to illegally consume alcohol, race cars and motorcycles, and just act wild. All in all, it was just a large undeveloped patch of woods that was dark at night.
