2019 Map of Beaver

About this map

Beaver sits near the confluence of local valley drainages, marking a point of long-standing settlement within the deeply carved landscape of the Wabasha and Winona County border. This area is defined by its dramatic relief, where narrow tributary valleys like Glendale Hollow and the waters of E Indian Cr and W Indian Cr wind between prominent landforms such as Rattlesnake Ridge and Hoosier Ridge. The map documents a rural landscape where life follows the contours of the land, with numerous burial grounds including Beaver Cem, Hoosier Ridge Cem, and Woodlawn Cem serving as significant markers for family historians. The road network, including Co Hwy 26 and Co Rd 14, traces the ridges and valley floors, reflecting a community structured by the complex drainage systems of Beaver Cr and Goeman Cr.
