2010 Map of Rosewood

About this map

Rosewood sits at the heart of this rural Marshall County landscape, where a rectilinear grid of section roads defines the agricultural character of northwestern Minnesota. The map documents a scattered network of historical burial grounds that serve as silent witnesses to the area's immigrant heritage, including the Rindal Scandinavian Lutheran Cemetery and Wildwood Cemetery. These sites, along with Hegland Cemetery, Oak Ridge Cemetery, and Norden Cemetery, are vital points of reference for genealogists tracing early families in the region. The infrastructure is dominated by secondary routes such as County Hwy-2 and County Hwy-14, which intersect near the small settlement, facilitating the movement of grain and goods across the flat plains. The layout of roads like Lilac Ridge Rd and 150th Ave NW illustrates the enduring influence of the Public Land Survey System on modern land use and transportation.
