1959 Map of Rosewood

About this map

Rosewood sits at the heart of this landscape, serving as a hub for the surrounding agricultural townships during the mid-20th century. The settlement is defined by its position along the Minneapolis ST Paul And Sault Ste Marie railroad, a critical corridor for transporting goods through the Red River Valley region. The map reveals a community structured around civic and spiritual life, with the Town Hall centrally located in New Solum and rural congregations gathered at Rindal Ch and Oak Ridge Ch. For those tracing local heritage, several burial grounds including Wildwood Cem, Hegland Cem, and Norden Cem are clearly marked. The border between Marshall Co and Pennington Co bisects the quadrangle, highlighting the shared geography of these two counties as they appeared following 1950s aerial surveys.
