About this map

Mississippi River valley bluffs and bottomlands define this borderland where Winona County, Minnesota, meets the Wisconsin state line. High elevations like Queens Bluff and Kings Bluff overlook the braided channels of the river, where Richmond Island and Pigeon Island sit amidst Spring Slough and the northern reaches of Lake Onalaska. This modern survey reveals a landscape of ridge-top settlements and valley homesteads connected by a winding network of rural roads such as Little Trout Valley Rd and Husman Ridge Rd.

Upland communities like Nodine and Pickwick serve as focal points for the surrounding agricultural area, while smaller clusters like New Hartford and Rose Valley occupy the southern drainages. Local family and community history is preserved in sites like the Lutheran Cem, Hiler Cem, and Wilson Cem. To the southeast, the South Wind Orchard Reservoir indicates the area's ongoing land use and water management patterns.
