1965 Map of Wilmington

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

The rolling hills of Houston County meet the Iowa border in this mid-1960s survey of the Driftless Area. The landscape is defined by the deep valleys of Winnebago Creek and Bee Creek, with much of the upland acreage preserved as part of the Minnesota Memorial Hardwood State Forest. Settlement patterns are concentrated around the small community of Wilmington and the former village of Willington Grove, while the southern edge of the map shows the tiny hamlet of Bee tucked into the creek valley near the state line. For genealogists and local historians, the sheet identifies specific burial grounds like Stone Cem and Old Wilmington Cem, alongside the Wilmington Ch. The northern section is bisected by the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad, which skirts the Caledonia Corporate Boundary, reflecting the region's historical reliance on rail for transporting timber and agricultural products from the numerous local Quarries.
