1961 Map of Winslow

About this map

The Patoka River meanders across the southern landscape of this Pike County region, where the town of Winslow serves as a central hub near the Southern railroad line. This era is defined by a significant transition in land use, as traditional farming and forestry in the Pike County State Forest sit adjacent to large-scale Strip Mine operations. These mining scars dominate the central and western portions of the terrain, often reshaping the local topography near Campbelltown. For the family historian, the map preserves the locations of numerous community anchors, including the Flat Creek Memorial Ch and several family-named burial grounds like McClure Cem and Beadles Cem. The network of small settlements like Algiers and Whiteoak are connected by a web of rural routes such as Sugar Ridge Road and Bruster Road.
