About this map

The Tombigbee National Forest dominates the upper half of this Winston County landscape, where the headwaters of the Noxubee River and Little Noxubee River wind through heavily wooded hills. The northern reaches are dotted with small rural landmarks like the Noxubee Hill Cem and the settlement of Gum Springs, while the southern portion of the map transitions into the expanding infrastructure of Louisville.

Industrial and transportation signatures from the early 1970s are evident, including the Gulf Mobile and Ohio railroad line and a proposed location for a new bypass. Local heritage is preserved in the numerous country churches such as Poplar Flat Ch and Union Chapel, alongside early aviation and utility sites like the Louisville-Winston County Airport and a nearby Compressor Station. This survey captures the intersection of federal forest land with the regional hub of Louisville at a point of significant post-war modernization.
