2016 Map of Rollingstone

About this map

Rollingstone and Stockton serve as the primary nodes of settlement in this Winona County landscape, where deep valleys and ridges dictate the movement of both water and roads. The terrain is characterized by a series of prominent drainages, including Preston Valley, Middle Valley, and Stockton Valley, through which Garvin Brook and Rollingstone Cr flow toward the Mississippi River floodplain. Along the northeastern edge, the map documents the complex water network of Island Number Sixty, bordered by Dark Slough and Straight Slough. Local history is anchored by sites like the Mecklenburg Cem near German Ridge, while the rural road network, featuring routes such as Hoffman Hill Rd and Fern Valley Rd, follows the natural contours of the bluff country. This survey illustrates the persistent agricultural and residential patterns of the region well into the twenty-first century.
