2022 Map of Pepin

About this map

Mississippi River creates a dramatic boundary on this sheet, widening into the expansive Lake Pepin between Wisconsin and Minnesota. The riverfront is anchored by the historic village of Pepin, situated on the fertile Pepin Prairie, while the small community of Stockholm sits to the northwest near the base of Bogus Bluff. This landscape is defined by the contrast between the flat river valley and the deeply dissected uplands of the driftless area, where a series of steep coulees like Riley Coulee and Kepler Coulee drain toward the water. On the Minnesota shore, the city of Lake City overlooks the widening channel, with the rugged Rattlesnake Hill rising nearby. Small aviation facilities like the Bogus Creek Airport and Airwolfe Airport occupy the level plateaus above the bluffs, while local history is marked by the Oakwood Cem and the river-fronting settlement of Lakeport.
