1952 Map of Red Wing

About this map

Red Wing serves as the focal point of this mid-century landscape, situated where the Mississippi River creates a complex network of backwaters and islands. The river is a corridor of industrial and transport activity, evidenced by the convergence of the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific RR and other major lines that follow the shoreline. To the northwest, the Prairie Island Indian Reservation is prominently delineated, including the Prairie Island Indian Sch and numerous sloughs like Buffalo Slough and Indian Slough.
