2019 Map of Rosendale

About this map

Rosendale stands at the center of this rural Meeker County landscape, defined by its intricate network of lakes and agricultural drainages. The area is marked by numerous glacial water bodies, including Popple Lake, Kelley Lake, and Doxton Lake, which are interconnected by engineered waterways such as County Ditch Number Sixteen. This mapping captures the community's local history through well-preserved sites like the Arndahl Lutheran Cem and Immanuel Cem, reflecting the enduring presence of early Lutheran and immigrant settlements in central Minnesota. The terrain is further etched by the winding paths of King Creek and Belle Creek, which flow through the sections of Acton and Danielson townships. The grid of county roads, including Co Rd 28 and Co St Aid Hwy 32, reveals a traditional Midwestern settlement pattern where family farms were oriented around these vital water sources and community centers.
