About this map

The town of Winona and the surrounding timberlands of the Mark Twain National Forest define this early 1980s landscape on the border of Shannon and Oregon counties. The area’s industrial history is etched into the terrain through transportation remnants like the Old Pike Railroad Grade and the Old Tram Road, which once served the local logging and mining interests. Small clusters of settlement at Low Wassie and Seaman are connected by a network of improved and unimproved roads winding through the Ozark topography.

Water features are abundant despite the hilly ground, including Nichols Lake, Edmondson Pond, and the natural flow of Falling Spring. Local genealogy is anchored by the Mt Zion Cem, while the complex drainage system is marked by numerous named valleys such as Horse Trough Hollow, Possum Trot Hollow, and Wildcat Hollow. The map also identifies local resource extraction sites like a Gravel Pit near Young Hollow.
