About this map

Wilmington and the high agricultural plateau of Portland Prairie define this portion of Houston County, where the driftless landscape is carved by deep creek valleys. The area's Norwegian heritage is central to its geography, anchored by the Wilmington Norwegian Lutheran Cem. Smaller burial grounds like Stone Cem and Old Wilmington Cem are preserved among the farmsteads, offering key points for genealogical research.

Waterways like Winnebago Cr and Bee Cr flow through the undulating terrain toward the Mississippi, influencing the original road network and the location of small settlements like Bee and Willington Grove. This modern survey also shows contemporary infrastructure, including the Houston County Airport and a dense network of local routes such as Guberud Hill Dr and Dairy Rd, which follow the ancient contours of the land.
