2013 Map of Red Wing

About this map

Red Wing occupies a dramatic position on the Mississippi River, framed by the prominent heights of Barn Bluff and Sorins Bluff. This 2013 landscape shows the dense street grid of the city center transitioning into the valleys of Hay Creek and Trout Brook. The riverfront is a hub of connectivity, featuring the Dwight D Eisenhower Bridge and the Riverfront Centre, while the complex hydrology of the river valley is evident in the numerous backwaters such as Sturgeon Lake, Vermillion Slough, and Gantenbein Lake. Several local heritage sites are documented throughout the city and its periphery, including Oakwood Cem, Calvary Cem, and the Goodhue County Poor Farm Cem. The map illustrates how development has navigated the steep terrain of Coon Hill and the winding course of the Trimbelle River as it enters the Mississippi from the Wisconsin side.
