About this map

Red Wing sits prominently along the Mississippi River, where the high topography of Barn Bluff and Sorins Bluff towers over the water's edge. This landscape is defined by the complex network of channels and backwaters separating Minnesota and Wisconsin, including Diamond Island and the Rice Lakes Bottoms. The river crossing is anchored by the Dwight D Eisenhower Bridge, connecting the city to North Red Wing and the Wisconsin shoreline at Hager City.

Local history is preserved in several burial grounds, including the Oakwood Cem and Calvary Cem, as well as the uniquely noted Goodhue County Poor Farm Cem near the Cannon River. The map details the transition from the river valley floor up into the surrounding highlands like Coon Hill, showing the convergence of Hay Creek and Bullard Cr into the river system. Residential growth is evident in pockets like Pucketville and along the terrace of Red Wing Bay.
