2013 Map of Weaver

About this map

The Mississippi River and Whitewater River converge in this riverine landscape, where the state boundary separates Minnesota from Wisconsin across the wide channel and its islands. Small settlements like Weaver and Minneiska are perched along the river terrace, constrained by the steep bluffs of Rattlesnake Ridge and Hoosier Ridge to the west. This topography creates a series of isolated pockets, such as Adams Valley and Hidershide Valley, which have long shaped the local agricultural patterns. Genealogists will find a cluster of burial sites near the river, including Saint Marys Cem, Hillside Cem, and Evergreen Cem, while the more remote Young Cem sits further inland near the Whitewater River. The map also captures the complex hydrology of the bottomlands, featuring the Dorer Pools, Prichard Lake, and landmarks like Montgomery Point and Swan Island.
