About this map

Winona serves as a significant central hub in the mid-1960s, defined by the crossing of the Illinois Central and the Columbus and Greenville railroads. The town's civic core is clearly marked by its Courthouse, Library, and Hospital, reflecting its role as a county seat. Surrounding the urban center, the landscape shifts into a network of small rural congregations and burial grounds, including Campbell Hill Ch and Oakwood Cem, which anchor the local community history.

The terrain is dissected by the Hays Creek and Big Black River systems, with the West Fork and East Fork creating a complex drainage pattern through the wooded hills. Aviation infrastructure is present at the Winona-Montgomery Co Airport, while industrial activity is represented by the Sandpit near Sandpit Cem. This period shows a balance between established town infrastructure and a rural landscape still deeply tied to its small churches like Columbiana Ch and Harmony Ch.
