About this map

Roseau serves as the primary hub of this northern Minnesota landscape, organized around the Roseau County Courthouse and a grid of residential and commercial streets. The civic character of the town is reflected in its local landmarks and religious centers, such as Sacred Heart, while the surrounding rural township is marked by several burial grounds including Hope Cem, Rose Cem, and Bethel Cem.

The hydrology of the region is dominated by the Roseau River and the S Fork Roseau River, which meander through the low-lying terrain. Extensive water management is evident in the presence of County Ditch Number Eight, illustrating the historical and ongoing efforts to drain the land for agricultural use. This survey provides a clear look at the intersection of municipal development and the heavy engineering required to manage the northern watershed.
