In Google Earth fly to "Wabasha, MN" for a great satellite view of pre-NEC Wabasha, the Mississippi River, and Lake Pepin. 

This is also a fun way to fly around the 261 mile-long Upper Mississippi Valley National Wildlife Refuge, the northern end of which is across the river in the backwaters we overlook.
