1971 Map of Winfred

About this map

The settlement of Winfred sits in the northwest corner of this Lake County landscape, serving as a focal point along the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad. This early 1970s survey captures a rural environment defined by the winding course of the East Fork Vermillion River, which snakes through the townships of Winfred, Clarno, and Vermillion. To the south of the river, Graceville Colony stands out as a distinct communal settlement pattern, contrasted by the surrounding grid of section roads and scattered agricultural landmarks like the local Townhall. Conservation efforts are evident in multiple designated National Waterfowl Production Area zones, while the presence of Gravel Pits and the Township Cem provide specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians tracking the physical development of the county.
