2017 Map of Roslyn

About this map

Roslyn and Grenville serve as the primary hubs in this lake-dominated landscape of Day County. Situated atop the glacial highlands of the Coteau des Prairies, the area is defined by a complex network of glacial depressions and massive water bodies, most notably Waubay Lake, South Waubay Lake, and Minnewasta Lake. This 2017 survey reveals a rural settlement pattern where section-line roads, such as Co Rd 66 and Co Rd 6, negotiate the irregular shorelines and wetland basins. For those tracing local heritage, the map identifies significant land-use markers including the Roslyn Lutheran Cem north of town and Saint Joseph Catholic Cem on the outskirts of Grenville, providing fixed points for genealogical research in this northern prairie environment.
