About this map

Beech Cr and its numerous tributaries, including Caney Cr and Higdon Cr, dominate this section of the Winn Parish landscape. The settlement of Royal sits at a crossroads in the northern reaches, while Murray Junction marks a key intersection to the southwest near Sandy Cr. This document reflects a modern era of land management, where a dense network of parish roads such as Parish Road 1074 and Parish Road 723 provides access to the timber-heavy terrain.

Genealogists will find several burial sites preserved across the landscape, from Shiloh Cem in the south to Adams Cem in the northeast corner. The distribution of these family and community landmarks, like the Old Shady Grove Cem, indicates the enduring footprint of rural communities within the Piney Woods. Traces of industrial infrastructure are noted as well, such as an Oil Field Rd appearing in the southeast near Saline Cr.
