2010 Map of Rock Dell

About this map

Rock Dell and the surrounding agricultural landscape of Olmsted County are defined by a grid of rural roads and the winding paths of the South Fork Zumbro River and Salem Creek. This survey provides a precise look at the township's religious and civic heritage through its scattered burial grounds, including the South Zumbro Cemetery and West Saint Olaf Cemetery. These locations, along with East Saint Olaf Cemetery and Zion Cemetery, serve as primary landmarks for genealogists tracing the early families who settled this region of Minnesota. The map documents the layout of small settlements such as Shanty Town, Vernon, and Oslo during the early 21st century. The landscape is primarily divided by a network of local routes like County Hwy-3 and County Hwy-5, reflecting the enduring rural character and spatial organization of the farming communities near the Dodge County border.
