2016 Map of Rosewood

About this map

Rosewood sits at the center of this 2016 survey, a settlement defined by the grid of rural roads and agricultural management systems along the border of Marshall and Pennington Counties. The landscape is heavily influenced by large-scale hydrological engineering, most notably the Main Judicial Ditch Number Fifteen, which draws water across the northern half of the quadrangle. This drainage network, including the S Br Snake River, supports the expansive land holdings of the Farm Service Agency Interest of Minnesota. Genealogists will find a concentrated cluster of historic burial grounds scattered across the townships, such as Rindal Scandinavian Lutheran Cem and Wildwood Cem, reflecting the early Scandinavian heritage of these rural Minnesota communities. The map also records smaller sites like Hegland Cem, Oak Ridge Cem, and Norden Cem.
