2013 Map of Rothsay NW

About this map

The low-lying plains of Wilkin County are defined by an extensive network of water management systems, notably County Ditch Number Six-a and County Ditch Number One-a. These engineering features reflect the agricultural heritage of the region, where drainage was essential for land use. Two significant burial sites, Manston Cem in the north and Meadows Cem further south, provide anchor points for genealogical research, likely representing the early communities that settled this part of Minnesota. The landscape is organized by a precise grid of township roads such as T-34 and T-54, with the larger thoroughfare of MN-9 cutting diagonally across the northwestern corner. This 2013 survey captures the area as a stable, rural environment where traditional landmarks and modern infrastructure coexist.
