About this map

Woodlawn sits at the center of this Jefferson County landscape, serving as a primary hub for the surrounding rural communities of Roaches and Rend Lake Camp. The area's industrial character is defined by the Woodlawn Oil Field, which sits south of the main town site along the winding path of Rayse Cr. This tributary, along with Novak Cr and Back Br, drains the undulating terrain toward the Big Muddy River on the eastern edge of the survey.

Genealogists will find an unusually high density of burial sites for a single quadrangle, including Oddfellows Cem, Reynolds Cem, and Mount Catherine Cem. The local road network is a strict grid punctuated by family-named landmarks like The Pinnacle, providing a clear record of land ownership and settlement patterns in the early 21st century. The map also documents a heavy concentration of cemeteries such as Randolph Cem, Slade Cem, and Taylor Cem, reflecting the deep-rooted community history of the region.
