2019 Map of Rosewood

About this map

Rosewood sits at a rural crossroads in a landscape defined by an extensive network of drainage channels and small wetlands. This 2019 survey of northwestern Minnesota shows a highly structured agricultural grid where the Main Judicial Ditch Number Fifteen and the S Br Snake River cut through the sections. The area is dotted with small, family-linked burial sites that speak to the long-standing community roots in Marshall Co and Pennington Co. Genealogists will find several distinct locations to trace local ancestry, including Rindal Cem, Wildwood Cem, Hegland Cem, and Oak Ridge Cem. The transition from larger county routes like Co Hwy 14 to local section-line roads such as Lilac Ridge Rd illustrates the township-and-range surveying system that governs this productive prairie land.
