Subject: help with LCSH for northeast towns & cities

Good morning, oh great collective wisdom. The staff person who works
with me doing copy cataloging of maps has asked me to explain the
difference between these two geographic subject headings:
Warwick (N.Y.)
Warwick (N.Y. : Town)
I seem to recall that this issue is specific to the northeast U.S. and
that I had a difficult time wrapping my head around it when it was
explained to me many years ago. Can anyone provide a good, preferably
brief explanation? Or is there somewhere online that can?
Thank you!
Beth
