2013 Map of Wilson

About this map

The settlement of Wilson serves as the focal point of this rural Winona County landscape, situated where the ridge tops meet the descending coulees of southeastern Minnesota. The topography is defined by a series of prominent valleys, including Gilmore Valley, West Burns Valley, and Wiscoy Valley, which reveal the deeply dissected nature of the Driftless Area. For genealogists and local historians, the map is particularly rich in cemetery locations, documenting local burial sites like Immaculate Conception Cem, Trinity Cem, and Frank Hill Cem. These landmarks, along with the scattered township boundaries such as Hart Twp 12 and Wiscoy Twp 10, trace the historical organization of the farming community. The presence of L and D Dairy and various creek systems, such as Money Cr and Pleasant Valley Cr, reflects the enduring agricultural and hydraulic character of the region south of Winona.
