About this map

The city of Utica and the western edge of Lewiston anchor this landscape in Winona County, where the agricultural uplands are deeply dissected by the headwaters of several drainages. The Us-14 corridor serves as the primary east-west artery, connecting the established settlements and rural township roads like St Charles Twp 4. Beyond the main towns, smaller historic clusters such as Fremont and Clyde reflect the area's legacy as a series of rural hubs for farming families.

The topography is notably defined by Shelton Hill and the winding courses of Rush Cr and Pine Cr. For family historians, the map identifies several local burial grounds, including Worth Cem and Scottish Cem, which are often the only remaining physical markers of the earliest pioneer congregations. The transition from the high-ground township roads to the lower elevation of Ferguson Valley illustrates the varied terrain of the southeastern Minnesota driftless region.
