2010 Map of Winfield

About this map

Winfield serves as the central hub of this East Texas landscape, positioned along the primary transit corridor that separates the northern creek basins from the southern ranch and timber lands. The map reveals a high density of rural communities and crossroads, such as Farmers Academy, Marshall Springs, and West New Hope, reflecting a long-standing pattern of dispersed agricultural settlement. Water management is a defining characteristic of the terrain, with numerous impoundments like Tankersley Lake, John W May Lake, and John B Stephens Junior Lake punctuating the courses of Ripley Creek and Dragoo Creek. For genealogists, the distribution of local burial grounds, including Tranquil Cemetery and Barrett Cemetery, provides a clear spatial record of the area's established families and historic congregations.
