2019 Map of Rollag

About this map

Rollag and Tansem anchor this rural landscape where the prairie meets the lake-strewn glacial terrain of western Minnesota. The map reveals a high density of named water bodies, including the centrally located Dewey Lake and the interconnected waters of Grove Lake and Maple Lake to the south. For genealogists and local historians, the sheet is exceptionally detailed with respect to early community centers, marking several denominational burial grounds such as Grong Lutheran Cem and Aspelund Cem. A complex network of gravel and local roads, including 270th St S and 120th Ave S, follows the section lines of the Public Land Survey System, illustrating how agricultural development has navigated the region's irregular hydrography, from the winding Whisky Cr to isolated points like Coot Landing.
