2016 Map of Utica

About this map

Utica and the western edge of Lewiston anchor this Winona County landscape, where the CP railroad follows a corridor established by early transport lines through the prairie and valley terrain. The map captures a transition from the elevated plains near Shelton Hill to the dissected valleys of the southern section, notably around Ferguson Valley. Local history is preserved through several family and community burial grounds, including Saint John Cem, Mount Auburn Cem, and the Scottish Cem located near the southern boundary. These sites, along with small settlements like Fremont and Clyde, reflect the agricultural settlement patterns of southeastern Minnesota. The drainage network is defined by Rush Cr, Pine Cr, and Hemingway Cr, which carve through the undulating topography that characterizes this region of the state.
