Lake City sits on the eastern shore of Lake Pepin, a broad widening of the Mississippi, and this 1867 panorama puts that water in the foreground. A. Ruger drew the town as a bird's-eye view, a style popular in the 1860s and 1870s, and the Chicago Lithographing Company printed it. Views like this were often sold to residents and local boosters who wanted to see their community from above. Streets, buildings, and river landings are drawn in fine detail, so the map also serves as a record of how a Mississippi River town was laid out shortly after the Civil War.
