About this map

Wabasha and the Mississippi River valley dominate the northeastern corner of this mid-1970s topographical record. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes at Coffee Mill Bluff and Greenfield Hill, overlooking the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad line that follows the river's edge. The Zumbro River snakes through the center of the sheet, feeding into complex wetlands such as Albertson Slough and Fry Slough.

Conservation and recreation land use is prominent, with the Minnesota Memorial Hardwood State Forest and the Upper Mississippi River Wild Life and Fish Refuge covering much of the bottomland and bluffs. For researchers, the map identifies small rural centers and local history markers like the St Agnes Cem near Kellogg and the hamlet of Conception in the south, alongside family-named landmarks like Costello Spring and Canfield Spring.
