1955 Map of Windsor

About this map

The railroad town of Windsor serves as a central hub where the Missouri Kansas and Texas and the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific lines intersect. This 1955 survey illustrates a landscape undergoing industrial transition, characterized by extensive Strip Mine operations and mines dotting the hillsides, particularly around Bowen and north of the main settlement. The agrarian foundations of the county remain visible through a dense network of local institutions, including High Point Ch and several rural schoolhouses like Valley Grove Sch and Hillside Sch. In Windsor, the Windsor Fairgrounds and Farrington Park provide community focal points, while numerous family and community cemeteries like Laurel Oak Cem and Chipman Cem offer significant data for genealogists. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of Tebo Creek and its forks, which cut through the coal-rich lands of Henry and Johnson counties.
