2013 Map of Rosendale

About this map

Glacial lake basins and organized drainage systems define this section of Meeker County, where the historic crossroads of Acton and Rosendale anchor a landscape of mixed agriculture and water. The terrain is notably dominated by large water bodies such as King Lake and Long Lake, while the human imprint is marked by the rectilinear grid of township roads like Co Hwy-23 and 200th St. Genealogists and local historians will find the Immanuel Cem in the southwestern quadrant, a significant point of interest for tracing early families in the region. The map also illustrates the sophisticated water management of the era, showing the County Ditch Number Sixteen as it channelizes runoff between Belle Lake and Popple Lake, reflecting the long-standing efforts to reclaim and manage the prairie wetlands for productive use.
