1965 Map of Wilmington

USGS Topo · Published 1989

About this map

Wilmington sits at a geographic crossroads in the mid-1960s, where the plateaus of Spring Grove and Portland Prairie meet the winding drainage of Bee Creek. This survey captures a rural landscape defined by the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad, which cuts a path through the Minnesota Memorial Hardwood State Forest near Willington Grove. The map is particularly useful for genealogists, as it documents the state line between Houston County, Minnesota, and Allamakee County, Iowa. The settlement pattern is rooted in local history, featuring landmarks like the Wilmington Ch and two distinct burial sites: Stone Cem and the Old Wilmington Cem. Multiple quarries scattered across the hills indicate the local importance of stone extraction during this era.
