About this map

The Zumbro River and its tributary Cold Creek define the landscape of this Wabasha County region, where the small settlement of Zumbro Falls sits at a strategic river bend. This 2010 survey illustrates a rural community anchored by small hamlets like Oak Center and Bear Valley, with a high density of country graveyards that speak to the area's genealogical depth. Family and community heritage are preserved in sites such as Black Cemetery, Chester Cemetery, and the Saint John's Lutheran Cemetery.

The infrastructure of the early 21st century is represented by the Zumbro Parkway Bridge and the Zumbro Falls Post Office, while the Structure S-16A Dam manages the local water flow. Recreational interest is noted at the Bluff Valley Campgrounds south of the main village. The map provides a clear view of the transition from the upland farmsteads down into the Buckman Coulee and the river valley, marking the continued importance of the drainage network to local geography.
