About this map

The Roseau River meanders across this northern Minnesota landscape, defining the character of a region where agriculture and aviation meet. The northern edge features the expanding footprint of Roseau, home to the Roseau Municipal Airport/Rudy Billberg Field and several residential developments like Oak Manor Trailer Ct. To the south, the settlement of Malung sits near the confluence of the river and Sucker Cr, representing a quieter rural community centered around family history and land stewardship.

A complex network of drainage infrastructure, including County Ditch Number Seven and County Ditch Number Eleven, illustrates the engineering required to manage the flat terrain for farming. Genealogists and local historians will find significant interest in the Spruce Cem near the airport and Malung Cem further south, which mark the generations of families who established these townships. The map records a transition from the structured grid of rural roads, such as Mattson Island Rd, to the natural curves of Cow Cr and Bear Cr.
