About this map

Beaver sits at the confluence of several vital watercourses, where the Beaver Cr meets the winding Whitewater River. This landscape is defined by its deep valley carvings, most notably Glendale Hollow, which separate prominent rises such as Jacobs Hill and Fisher Hill. The settlement pattern reflects the area's rural history, with multiple burial grounds including the Hoosier Ridge Cem and Whitewater Cem situated near the county line between Wabasha and Winona counties.

Transportation throughout the area follows the natural contours of the ridges, with MN-42 cutting across the northwest and Co HWY-30 navigating the river valleys. The map provides a detailed view of the township divisions, including Whitewater Twp 13 and Whitewater Twp 8, illustrating how local governance and land use were organized around the dramatic topography of Rattlesnake Ridge and Hoosier Ridge.
