2015 Map of Rosholt

About this map

Rosholt stands at the northwestern corner of this Roberts County landscape, where the prairie grid of South Dakota meets the border of Minnesota. This 2015 study illustrates a quintessential Midwestern agricultural pattern, with a dense network of township roads like 106th St and 107th St dividing the land into regular sections. The area’s history is reflected in several community landmarks, including Hillside Cem, Bethania Cem, and Saint Peter Cem, which serve as primary points of interest for those researching local family history. To the southeast, the terrain descends toward the significant waters of Lake Traverse, which defines the boundary line between South Dakota and Minnesota. Near the town site, Big Slough winds through the northern sections, indicating the drainage patterns that have historically influenced land use and settlement in this border region.
