2019 Map of Plainview

About this map

Plainview serves as the primary municipal center in this section of Wabasha County, situated within a landscape defined by the drainage basins of several prominent local waterways. The town's grid is clearly delineated, featuring schools and residential blocks that transition into the surrounding agricultural lands. To the west, the smaller settlement of Elgin sits near the banks of the N Fork Whitewater River, which meanders through the southern portion of the quadrangle. The topography is notably marked by the erosion patterns of Middle Cr, Long Cr, and W Indian Cr, creating a series of ridges and valleys that dictate the local road network. Local history and genealogy interests are anchored by several established burial grounds, including Saint Joachim Cem, Greenwood Cem, and Oakwood Cem, while the Christison Airport provides a modern transportation link for the rural community.
