2022 Map of Lake City

About this map

Lake City occupies a prominent position on the western shore of the Mississippi River and Lake Pepin, where the local landscape transitions from the riverfront into the steep bluffs of Sugarloaf Bluff and West Florence Ridge. The map reveals a dense concentration of civic and genealogical sites within the town, including Oakwood Cem, Saint Johns Cem, and Lakewood Cem. Across the water in Wisconsin, the settlement of Stockholm is visible, along with the Old Stockholm Cem. The surrounding uplands are defined by a series of deep coulees, such as Boston Coulee and Moran Coulee, which channel drainage from Gilbert Valley toward the river valley. This network of ridges and ravines dictated the historical placement of upland settlements like Oak Ridge and the winding path of the Territorial Road Trl.
