2010 Map of Plainview

About this map

The city of Plainview serves as the primary hub of this southeastern Minnesota landscape, where the agricultural grid is deeply etched by a network of creeks and drainage basins. Local infrastructure is concentrated around the town center, including the Plainview Post Office and multiple heritage sites such as Saint Joachim Cemetery and Greenwood Cemetery. To the west, the smaller settlement of Elgin sits near the banks of the North Fork Whitewater River, which flows across the southern portion of the sheet. The region is notable for its water management systems, featuring several named agricultural and pooling structures like the Hunter-Sprenger Pooling Agreement Dam and Wilmer Schmidt Dam. Transportation is defined by a dense county highway system, while Christison Airport and the Piper Hills Golf Course provide insights into the mid-twentieth-century recreational and utility development of the Wabasha County countryside.
