1980 Map of Witoka

About this map

Pleasant Ridge and Homer Ridge define the undulating landscape of Winona County in this 1980 survey, where deeply incised valleys like Pleasant Valley Creek and Homer Creek drain toward the northeast. The area is characterized by a mix of agriculture and conservation, with significant portions of the terrain protected within the Richard J Dorer Memorial Hardwood State Forest. Small rural settlements and intersections serve as local hubs, including Witoka and Ridgeway, the latter situated along the modern corridor of I-90. Local history and genealogy are anchored by several community landmarks, such as Cedar Valley Church and its associated cemetery, alongside St. Patricks Cemetery and Hillside Cemetery farther south. The map also records the location of industrial and infrastructure sites like the local Quarry and highway Weigh Stations.
