My dad Cecil Taylor worked for them for many years and knew a lot who owned what in Winn Parish and what work had been done on the property. That information is in the SCS files. They have aerial maps of the areas. And SCS agents spend a lot of time in the woods doing surveys, running lines, and marking timber. They often run across old homesteads, grave sites and cemeteries. And they usually know the oldtimers and the history of much of the land. One cautionary note. Soil Conservation Districts are formed without regard to parish lines.
