About this map

Winfield serves as the focal point of this late 1960s survey, straddling the boundary between Marion and Fayette counties. The landscape is defined by the heavy presence of the St Louis San Francisco railroad, which cuts through the heart of the settlement near the Waterworks and local hospital. Rural life outside the corporate limits is anchored by numerous country churches and cemeteries, including Musgrove Chapel, Happy Hill Ch, and the Logan Cem.

Industry and local commerce appear in the form of scattered gravel pits and an Airshaft, alongside mid-century landmarks like the Drive-in Theater in Gu-Win. To the south, the Agriculture Experiment Station suggests the importance of scientific farming to the local economy. The terrain is deeply etched by a network of waterways including Luxapallila Creek and Turkey Creek, which shaped the placement of outlying communities such as Glen Allen and Bobo.
