About this map

Winnfield serves as the industrial and transportation hub of the region, where a dense network of timber-related infrastructure meets a complex web of early twentieth-century rail lines. The Tremont and Gulf RR and Chicago Rock Island and Pacific RR converge near a large Creosote Plant and Quarry, illustrating the area's deep ties to the logging and resource extraction industries. The surrounding landscape within the Dugdemona Forest Boundary is defined by the winding course of the Dugdemona River and numerous small settlements like Atlanta and Joyce.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local landmarks, from rural educational sites like Cedar Creek Sch to several remote burial grounds, including Old Pleasant Hill Cem and Crockett Cem. The terrain is characterized by hills such as Kiesche Hill and specialized natural features like the Salt Spring, which contrast with the industrial footprints of the Colgrade Lookout Tower and other fire watch stations scattered across the timberlands.
