About this map

Minnesota Memorial Hardwood State Forest dominates the southern half of this riverfront landscape, where the deeply eroded bluffs of the Driftless Area meet the sprawling channels of the Mississippi River. The settlement of Weaver sits at the foot of these ridges, positioned where the Snake Creek valley opens toward the broad river flats. The transport corridor is defined by the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad, which skirts the water's edge below Wato Pa Ridge and Rattlesnake Ridge.

Further south, the town of Minneiska marks the riverbank near the confluence of the Whitewater River. The map provides significant detail for local historians, documenting the St Marys Cem Evergreen Sem and smaller burial sites like Hillside Cem and Young Cem. To the north, the Upper Mississippi River Wild Life and Fish Refuge covers the intricate network of islands and backwaters, including the Dorer Pools, illustrating the complex hydrology of this border region between Minnesota and Wisconsin.
