About this map

Woodlawn serves as the central hub of this mid-1970s Jefferson County landscape, where the Louisville And Nashville railroad line intersects with local commerce and agriculture. The surrounding townships of Casner, Shiloh, Blissville, and Mcclellan are defined by a network of rural roads connecting small settlements like Roaches and Townhall. For those researching local heritage, the map is densely marked with family and community burial grounds, including Randolph Cem, Oddfellows Cem, and Rightnowar Cem.

The physical environment is shaped by the winding path of the Big Muddy River and its tributaries, such as Rayse Creek and Novak Creek. Evidence of the region's mid-century petroleum industry is visible in the scattered Oil Wells found near the Woodlawn Field. Community life is further anchored by landmarks like Mt Catherine Ch and the Long Prairie Ch, while the notable elevation of The Pinnacle stands out against the generally level agricultural terrain.
