About this map

Big Black River flows through the heart of Montgomery County, marking a landscape defined by small rural communities and a dense network of country churches. The Illinois Central railroad corridor anchors the western edge of the map, connecting the primary hubs of Winona and Vaiden. The area is notably dense with local-history markers, from family-named cemeteries like Everette Cem and Griffin Cem to spiritual landmarks such as Nations Poplar Creek Ch and Wesley Chapel.

Transitioning from the river bottoms to the higher ground of Hendrick Hill and John Arnold Mountain, the map reveals a 1960s agricultural and residential pattern. Numerous small creeks, including Cane Creek and Zilpha Creek, feed the drainage basins, while specialized sites like the Winona-Montgomery Co Airport and the Winona Country Club indicate the mid-century development of the region's infrastructure and social hubs.
