1950 Map of Winnfield

About this map

Winnfield serves as the industrial and civic anchor of this 1950s landscape, situated at the crossroads of the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific and Tremont & Gulf railroads. The town's grid and proximity to the Joyce Airport underscore its role in the mid-century economy of North Central Louisiana. Beyond the urban center, the land is defined by a dense network of timberlands and creek bottoms, including the Dugdemona River and Sulphur Creek.
