About this map

The Mississippi River corridor shapes the eastern edge of this landscape, where prominent overlooks like Queens Bluff and Kings Bluff stand high above the water. In the valley below, the Pickwick Post Office and Pickwick Dam mark a long-established settlement on Big Trout Creek. The interior is defined by a series of detention dams, including the Victor Gunderson-Marmsoler Detention Dam, which manage the drainage from upland areas like Husman Ridge down into the surrounding valleys.

Rural life is anchored by small crossroads and cemeteries that serve as vital links for genealogists. The villages of Nodine and New Hartford connect via an intricate network of township roads, while Wilson Cemetery, Hiler Cemetery, and the Lutheran Cemetery provide historical records of the area's residents. At the river's edge, the map records recreational and agricultural sites such as Lutherhaven Camp and the South Wind Orchard Reservoir, reflecting the diverse land use of the river bluffs in the early 21st century.
