2022 Map of Rose City

About this map

Rose City and the settlement of Spruce Center define the local landscape of Douglas County, Minnesota, in this modern topographic survey. The area is characterized by an intricate network of wetlands and small water bodies, anchored by the winding Long Prairie River and the significant Mill Pond near Spruce Center. This region is a rich resource for genealogists, as it meticulously preserves the locations of several historic community burial grounds, including the Esther Lutheran Church Cem, Scribner Cem, Free Church Cem, and Spruce Hill Cem. Drainage patterns are dictated by Spruce Creek and Stormy Cr, which cut through a landscape divided by the rectilinear section lines and county boundaries of Otter Tail, Todd, and Douglas counties. Local infrastructure is marked by a blend of county roads and named residential lanes such as Acorn Ridge and Buttercup Dr NE, reflecting the ongoing development of these rural communities.
