2015 Map of Roslyn

About this map

Roslyn sits at the northern edge of this high prairie landscape, a small community defined by its proximity to the glacial waters of the Coteau des Prairies. The topography is dominated by an intricate network of wetlands and larger bodies of water, most notably Waubay Lake and S Waubay Lake which cover much of the southern half of the quadrangle. For those tracing family histories in Day County, the map provides precise locations for the Roslyn Cem and the neighboring town of Grenville to the east. The grid of section lines and gravel roads, such as 131st St and 138th St, provides a framework for the agricultural lands that weave between protected areas like the Dcwpa. The eastern shore of Minnewasta Lake marks the edge of a distinct lake district that has long shaped the settlement patterns and recreation of this South Dakota region.
