About this map

Spruce Creek and Stormy Creek define the drainage of this central Minnesota landscape as they flow toward the Long Prairie River at the southern edge of the quadrangle. The 2010 geography reflects a persistent agricultural and rural layout, anchored by the small settlements of Spruce Center and Rose City. A network of county highways and named roads like Iris Rd Ne and Oak Hill Dr Ne connects the scattered farmsteads and points of community interest.

Genealogists and local historians will find several well-documented burial grounds, including Esther Cemetery, Scribbner Cemetery, Free Church Cemetery, and Spruce Hill Cemetery. The presence of the Spruce Creek Dam near Spruce Center indicates managed local water resources, while the naming of thoroughfares such as Spruce Hill Park Rd Ne points to the continued local importance of the area's natural landmarks and watercourses.
