1966 Map of Roseau

About this map

Roseau serves as the focal point of this northern Minnesota landscape, situated along the banks of the Roseau River. The town's mid-century layout is clearly defined, with the Burlington Northern railroad corridor cutting through the western and northern sections, supporting the local economy alongside numerous Gravel Pits. To the south, the landscape transitions into the rural townships of Jadis and Stafford, where life centered around landmarks like Bethel Ch and the waters of the South Fork. Notable local institutions such as the Fish Hatchery and Hope Cem are meticulously documented, illustrating a community structured around its natural resources and systematic water management via the County Ditch No 8.
