Rochester/Paleozoic Plateau Upland setting.
Hyde Park township has 15.8 square miles of land in Wabasha County. Its Census reference point is in Rochester/Paleozoic Plateau Upland, within Driftless Area.
Deeply cut valleys divide a bedrock plateau with windblown soil on many uplands. Glaciers had less influence here than in neighboring regions, leaving a distinctly hilly landscape.

Hyde Park and Wabasha County
Hyde Park is associated with Wabasha County in the Census boundary data. Start with the parcel’s tax bill to match the property to that jurisdiction, then confirm which government handles its land use.
Hyde Park by land and water
The Census records 0.21 square miles of water within Hyde Park, or 1.3% of its total area. It is 3.6 percentage points lower than the 4.8% recorded for Wabasha County. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.
For scale, Hyde Park township has 98.8 times the land area of nearby Hammond city (0.16 square miles). These areas describe boundaries, not comparable property prices.
