About this map

Winfield serves as the central hub of this survey along the border of Tennessee and Kentucky, where the Southern railroad and Highway 27 cut through a landscape defined by coal extraction and timber. Extensive Strip Mines are visible across the hills, particularly within the Daniel Boone National Forest and near settlements like Strunk and Isham. The rugged topography is drained by a dense network of waterways, including Roaring Paunch Creek and Jellico Creek, which flow through the forested ridges.

Local history and genealogy are well-represented by numerous family landmarks and rural institutions. Small congregations like the Second Bethlehem Ch and New Light Ch anchor the community, while cemeteries such as Chitwood Cem, Hummel Memorial Cem, and Ross Cem dot the countryside. In the south, the terrain rises toward Honeycutt Mountain and Privet Mtn, while Laxon Lake and a Radio Tower (WBNT) mark the area near Pine Hill.
