1950 Map of Winnfield

About this map

Winnfield serves as the central hub of this 1950s landscape, where the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific and Tremont and Gulf railroads converge. The map documents a rural economy tied to the land, featuring a large Quarry near Sonnett and multiple lookout stations like the Sardis Lookout Tower. In the surrounding countryside, family and community life is anchored by locations such as McCarty Sch No. 1, Union Hill Sch, and the Corinth Tabernacle. The southern portion of the sheet transitions across the Winn Parish and Grant Parish boundary, tracing the meandering Dugdemona River and its numerous tributaries. Small settlements such as Atlanta, Packton, and Tannehill are meticulously mapped alongside local landmarks like Joyce Airport and the Crockett Cem, providing a detailed look at the parish just after the mid-century.
