About this map

Winona sits at the southwestern edge of this landscape, where the terrain rises toward the north along Dividing Ridge. The area is defined by a dense network of country roads and family-named cemeteries that speak to the deep-rooted settlement patterns of Montgomery County. Small communities like Eskridge and Sawyer are connected by historic routes such as Winona Stage Rd and Old US 51 N.

A series of watercourses, including Jackson Cr and Worsham Cr, carve through the hills, providing drainage for the agricultural and wooded lands. Genealogists will find a wealth of specific locations for research, including Saint Johns Cem, Bethesda Cem, and Hays Creek Cem. The transition from the industrial developments near the Industrial Park Blvd in the south to the more dispersed rural homesteads in the north reflects the local shift from town center to country living.
