2017 Map of Rolla

About this map

Rolla serves as the primary hub of activity in this northern pocket of the Turtle Mountain region, organized around a traditional street grid including Main Ave E and Main Ave W. The landscape to the south and east transitions into a series of prairie wetlands and depressions, notably including the waters of McLaughlin Lake and the natural drainage of the Big Coulee. This 2017 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey captures the modern road network where local routes like Bia Rd 6 and Airport Rd connect the town to the surrounding agricultural sections. For those tracing family histories, the map identifies significant burial sites including Saint Michael Cem on the outskirts of town and the more isolated Emanuel Cem to the south, providing precise spatial context for these local landmarks.
