2010 Map of Rose Creek

About this map

Rose Creek serves as the primary hub in this southern Minnesota landscape, where the local economy and social life are anchored by the Rose Creek Post Office and several rural burial grounds. The map reveals a strictly gridded agricultural layout, defined by roads such as 610th Ave and 170th St, which navigate the gentle drainage basins of Otter Creek and the Little Cedar River. For genealogists, the proximity of Saint Peter Cemetery and Prairie View Cemetery near the main township offers a clear view of the area's early settlement clusters. Further south, the small community of Johnsburg sits along the meandering banks of the Little Cedar River, illustrating the traditional pattern of village development along regional waterways before reaching the Iowa border.
