About this map

Winona serves as a central hub in north-central Mississippi, where the Illinois Central and Columbus And Greenville railroad lines intersect. This mid-1960s survey captures the city as a thriving county seat, featuring its Courthouse, Library, and major educational centers like High Sch and Knox High Sch. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Hays Creek and the notable rise of Campbell Hill, while the municipal footprint extends south to the Winona-Montgomery Co Airport.

Beyond the city limits, the map reveals a rural landscape anchored by family cemeteries and country churches, including Oakwood Cem, Townsend Cem, and Harmony Ch. The shift from industrial to agricultural land use is evident in the presence of several Sandpit sites and the Winona Country Club. This document offers a precise view of the local infrastructure before modern development altered the corridors along the Big Black R and its tributaries like the East Fork Creek.
