2016 Map of Rose City

About this map

Rose City and the nearby settlement of Spruce Center anchor this agricultural landscape in central Minnesota. Situated where the borders of Otter Tail, Douglas, and Todd counties converge, the area is defined by a dense network of watercourses and wetlands, including Long Prairie River at the southern edge. The map reveals a high concentration of community burial grounds, such as Esther Cem in the north and Spruce Hill Cem near the center, which serve as vital landmarks for tracing local family lineages. Drainage is provided by winding tributaries like Spruce Cr and Stormy Cr, which thread through the township sections. The road system is dominated by a grid of county roads and named lanes, including Dogwood Rd NE and Cattail Dr NE, illustrating the persistent 19th-century land division patterns still in use during this contemporary survey.
