1967 Map of Rosendale

About this map

Glacial depressions and marshy basins define this 1960s landscape in Meeker County, where the transition from prairie to wetlands is meticulously documented. The settlement of Rosendale serves as a small focal point south of a significant cluster of lakes, including the elongated Long Lake and the circular Hope Lake. The map reveals a commitment to conservation during the mid-20th century, evidenced by the large footprints of the Acton State Wildlife Management Area and the Popular State Wildlife Management Area. Cultural landmarks such as Immanuel Ch and Arndahl Ch anchor the rural community, providing key points of reference for genealogists tracing family ties to the townships of Acton, Danielson, and Greenleaf. This survey also provides hydrographic depth soundings for major water bodies like Belle Lake, offering a rare look at lakebed topography before modern shifts in shoreline and water levels.
