1990 Map of Winnabow

About this map

The blackwater systems of Rice Creek and Town Creek dominate this coastal plain landscape near the Navassa Corporate Boundary. Mapping from the late 1980s reveals a region defined by its wetlands, such as Beaverdam Swamp and Bell Swamp, interspersed with small settlements and family-named land features. The distribution of spiritual and educational centers, including Damascus Rd Ch, Holy Convent Ch, and the Leland Sch, suggests a community structure tied to early crossroads and rail paths. An Old Railroad Grade and Old RR Grade cutting through the terrain point to former timber or freight corridors that once linked Leland to Spring Hill. This survey captures the transition of the area as it maintained its rural character while supporting industrial operations like the Sandpits near Woodburn.
