1950 Map of Maiden Rock
USGS Topo · Published 1980About this map
Lake Pepin dominates this mid-century landscape where the Mississippi River widens along the border of Wisconsin and Minnesota. The survey reveals a dense network of rural one-room schoolhouses and parish churches serving the farming townships of Pierce County, including Hines Sch, Clayfield Ch, and Ono Ch. Along the northern shores, the Chicago Burlington and Quincy Railroad traces the water's edge through Bay City and the village of Maiden Rock, while across the channel in Goodhue County, the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific Railroad services Red Wing and Wacouta. The map documents a specifically local geography of the 1950s, naming numerous coulees and family-linked landmarks like Snows Corner and Friedrich Point before modern development altered these river-bluff communities.
