2019 Map of Roland

About this map

The Clearwater River meanders across this northern Minnesota landscape, defining the local geography as it flows through the township of Roland. This area, situated on the border of Red Lake and Pennington Counties, is characterized by its systematic agricultural drainage network. Several major engineering projects, including Judicial Ditch Number One, Judicial Ditch Number Three, and Judicial Ditch Number Four, intersect the terrain to manage the prairie wetlands for farming. For those researching local heritage, the map identifies significant sites such as the Salem Lutheran Cem and Clearwater Cem. The distribution of section-line roads like 330th Ave SE and Co Rd 1 underscores a rural settlement pattern established by the Public Land Survey System, which remains the backbone of the region's transportation and land division.
