2016 Map of Coates

About this map

Rosemount and the surrounding Dakota County countryside are depicted here during a period of modern suburban transition and agricultural persistence. The landscape is defined by a dense network of residential streets and arterial roads like Co Rd 42 and Coates Blvd, which cut through the undulating terrain south of the Twin Cities. In the eastern portion of the sheet, the small settlement of Coates sits adjacent to Turkey Track Airport, while the Vermillion River meanders through the southern half of the quadrangle near Empire. For genealogists and local historians, the map identifies several significant burial sites, including Saint Johns Cem, Saint Augustine Cem, and Emmanuel Cem. The transition from the more developed blocks of Rosemount to the wetlands along the river branches illustrates the evolving land use patterns of the early twenty-first century.
