About this map

Hastings sits at the confluence of several major waterways, anchored by the wide bend of the Mississippi River and the Vermillion River. This 2016 survey shows a landscape defined by its riverine geography and a significant concentration of commemorative sites, including the Veterans Cem and Lakeside Cem in the northwest. The presence of numerous burial grounds like Irish Catholic Cem, Saint Luke's Cem, and Bellwood Cem provides a dense genealogical record for the region.

South of the city center, the terrain transitions into a patchwork of small aviation fields and agricultural plots. Sandy Flats Airport, Sky Meadow Airport, and Willow Ridge Airport dot the area between Ravenna Trl and Co Rd 91. The preservation of the Mississippi National River and Recreation Area highlights the ongoing importance of the river corridor, while the neighboring town of Prescott across the state line marks the junction where the rivers and boundaries of Dakota, Washington, and Pierce counties meet.
