2017 Map of Rosholt

About this map

Rosholt serves as the primary hub for this agricultural landscape along the South Dakota and Minnesota border. This modern survey illustrates the enduring grid of the township-and-range system, where family legacies are marked by a significant concentration of local burial grounds. Genealogists will find interest in the dispersed placement of Hillside Cem, Bethania Cem, Saint Joseph Cem, Saint Peter Cem, and Trondhjem Cem, each serving distinct pockets of the rural community. To the southeast, the terrain descends toward the marshes and open waters of Lake Traverse, defining the boundary between Roberts County and Traverse County. The drainage of Big Slough to the northwest further characterizes the prairie hydrology of the region, where seasonal wetlands punctuate the sections between gravel roads and isolated farmsteads.
