2016 Map of Theilman

About this map

Theilman sits at a low point in the landscape where the Zumbro River and its varied tributaries have carved deep valleys into the surrounding terrain. This part of Wabasha County is defined by its complex drainage network, featuring numerous named coulees such as Cockwood Coulee, Bade Coulee, and Sutton Coulee. These landforms indicate a history of significant water erosion, creating the prominent ridges and bluffs characteristic of the region. Genealogy and local history researchers will find the Scott Settlement Cem on the northern bluffs, providing a connection to the early families who inhabited this portion of the Zumbro Valley. The topography is further punctuated by Foley Mound, while the river is joined by smaller streams like Middle Cr and W Indian Cr. The map details a transition from the agricultural plateaus to the narrow, winding river valleys that supported the small riverside community of Theilman.
