Map of Winona County Minnesota — Antique Map Print

Winona County sits in southeastern Minnesota along the Mississippi River, its county seat growing rapidly after its founding in 1851 into one of the busiest inland ports on the upper Mississippi, shipping wheat grown on the surrounding prairie downriver to markets in St. Louis and beyond. The county's bluffs and river valleys, carved by glacial meltwater at the edge of the last ice age, gave the region a dramatically different landscape from the flat prairie found elsewhere in Minnesota. County atlases like the one this map comes from were common across the Midwest in the 1870s, combining detailed property maps with local history to serve the farming communities that had settled the region within living memory.
