2010 Map of Roland

About this map

Roland sits at the junction of County Hwy-10 and County Hwy-127 in this corner of Red Lake County, where the meandering Clearwater River cuts through an extensively engineered agricultural landscape. The township structure is defined by a rigorous grid of section lines and county highways, including County Hwy-1 and County Hwy-134. This 2010 survey illustrates the sophisticated drainage network essential to local farming, marked by significant waterways like Judicial Ditch Number One, Judicial Ditch Number Three, and County Ditch Number Fiftyeight. Near the intersection of several section roads, the Salem Cemetery remains a quiet landmark of the community's genealogy. The map captures a moment in the early 21st century where traditional rural settlements and modern water management systems intersect across the Minnesota plains.
