2012 Map of Thomson

About this map

The Mississippi River forms the western boundary of this riverfront landscape, where the village of Thomson sits as a primary rail and road hub. The terrain to the east is defined by a network of drainage systems, including Johnson Creek and Otter Creek, which weave through a grid of agricultural lands and rural crossroads. Local history is deeply etched into the countryside through numerous burial sites, such as Lower York Cemetery and the Hollinshead Cemetery, which alongside the Spring Valley Methodist Cemetery suggest a long-established community structure centered around localized townships.
