About this map

The small community of Rosen serves as a focal point for this agrarian landscape along the border of South Dakota and Minnesota. Located in Lac qui Parle County, the area is defined by a grid of section lines and rural routes like Co Hwy 36 and Co Hwy 7, which connect isolated homesteads and family-held lands. The meandering course of the N Fork Yellow Bank River cuts through the terrain, providing a natural break in the otherwise structured township and range system.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the documentation of local burial grounds, including Saint Johns Cem and Saint Joseph's Catholic Cem, which mark the presence of early settlement congregations. The topography is largely uniform, punctuated by notable rises such as Big Tom Hill, offering a clear look at the late 20th-century development of this rural Upper Midwest borderland.
