About this map

Wilmington Norwegian Lutheran Cemetery serves as a primary historical anchor in this rural Houston County landscape, located near the small settlement of Wilmington. The area is defined by a dense network of local roads and creek valleys, including the drainages of Winnebago Creek and Bee Creek. Smaller historical nodes like Willington Grove, Bergen, and Bee are scattered throughout the township, connected by routes such as County Hwy-17 and County Hwy-12.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of burial sites, with the Old Wilmington Cemetery and Stone Cemetery providing further points of family research. The landscape transition is evident where the agricultural tablelands are broken by the timbered descents toward Duck Creek and the South Fork Crooked Creek. Modern infrastructure, including the Houston County Airport and Dunromin' Campground, appears alongside long-established farmstead roads like Wiebke Hill Dr and Guberud Hill Dr.
