1932 Map of Wabasha

About this map

The expansive Lake Pepin dominates the western portion of this landscape, where the Mississippi River widens along the border between Minnesota and Wisconsin. In the early 1930s, this area supported a network of riverbank settlements including Stockholm, Lakeport, and Pepin, all linked by the Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroad line. The eastern terrain shifts toward the braided wetlands of the Chippewa River delta, a complex maze of waterways such as Wancoutah Slough and Battle Slough near the junction at Trevino.
