About this map

Rollingstone and Minnesota City occupy a landscape deeply etched by the driftless-area valleys of Winona County. This 2011 survey details the complex drainage systems where Rollingstone Creek and Garvin Brook converge, flanked by dramatic topographical features like Preston Valley and Stockton Valley. The map highlights the localized water management of the era through multiple small-scale dams, including the Francis Speltz Dam and Lloyd Haxton Dam, which moderate the flow near Speltz Lake.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Mecklenburg Cemetery in the southern portion of the quadrangle, situated near the distinctive geological landmark known as The Arches. The map also preserves the precise locations of the Rollingstone Post Office and the Minnesota City Post Office, alongside the small village of Stockton, providing a clear picture of the community centers and rural townships such as Hillsdale TWP 18 and Warren TWP 13 as they appeared in the early 21st century.
