2016 Map of Rosendale

About this map

Rosendale stands at the center of this 2016 survey, a small settlement surrounded by the characteristic prairie pothole landscape of central Minnesota. The region is defined by a complex network of wetlands and small water bodies, including Daxton Lake, Popple Lake, and Thoen Lake. These natural features are integrated into a systematic drainage and transport grid, evidenced by County Ditch Number Sixteen and an extensive network of rural roads like Co Rd 28 and Co St Aid Hwy 32. For those researching local history or genealogy, the presence of the Immanuel Cem in the southern portion of the map provides a specific point of interest for family records. The map illustrates how late-modern agricultural land management, visible through the ditching and road systems, has shaped the drainage basin of Belle Cr.
