About this map

Family-named cemeteries and a complex network of small waterways characterize this 2012 survey of the rural landscape north of Winona. The map is notably dense with burial sites that provide essential clues for genealogists, including Summerfield Cem, Nebo Cem, Bluff Springs Cem, Marvin Cem, and New Salem Cem. These locations are often tucked away near county roads, such as Co RD-70 and Co RD-64, marking the historical centers of community life in Montgomery County.

Water management is evident through the series of reservoirs and natural drainages that define the local topography. Bailey Lake and Meadows Lake sit in the northern portion of the quadrangle, while Booths Lake and Waters Lake anchor the southwest. A web of creeks, including Little Sand Cr, Powells Cr, and Hurricane Cr, feeds into these basins, illustrating the agricultural and hydrological priorities of the region in the early 21st century.
