About this map

Wilmington sits at the heart of this Houston County landscape, where the agricultural plateaus of Portland Prairie meet the winding drainage systems of Winnebago Cr and Beaver Cr. The terrain is defined by a network of rural roads and ridges, connecting the established settlements of Spring Grove and Caledonia through high-ground points like Willington Grove. This area retains deep ties to its 19th-century settlement roots, evidenced by several distinct burial sites including the Wilmington Norwegian Lutheran Cem, the Old Wilmington Cem, and Stone Cem.

Modern infrastructure, such as the Houston County Airport in the northeast, operates alongside the traditional geography of the southern border near Bee. The map detail captures the intersection of township lines, specifically T101N and T102N, across ranges R6W and R7W. The complex drainage patterns of Duck Cr and Bee Cr underscore the area's physical isolation and the historic importance of ridge-top travel routes like Wiebke Hill Dr and Guberud Hill Dr.
