2019 Map of Rollingstone

About this map

Rollingstone and Stockton anchor this corner of Winona County, where deep drainage valleys carve into the high ridges above the Mississippi River backwaters. The landscape is defined by its topographic complexity, with narrow corridors like Stockton Valley and Preston Valley providing the primary routes for transport and settlement. Along the northeastern edge, the CP RR follows the bluffs near Minnesota City, overlooking the intricate waterways of Dark Slough and Straight Slough near Island Number Sixty. The map reveals a transition from these alluvial lowlands to the elevated agricultural plateaus of German Ridge. Local history and genealogy interest is found in the rural church sites and burial grounds such as Oakland Cem and Mecklenburg Cem. The drainage patterns of Rollingstone Cr and Garvin Brook show how the local hydrology shaped the winding paths of the township road network.
