2022 Map of Rothsay NW

About this map

Agricultural patterns and water management systems define this section of Wilkin County, where the landscape is meticulously carved by drainage engineering like County Ditch Number Six-a and County Ditch Number One-a. These man-made watercourses reflect the essential efforts to reclaim and maintain productive prairie farmland in western Minnesota. For those tracing family histories, the map preserves the locations of vital local landmarks such as Manston Cem in the northern reaches and Meadows Cem further south. The land is organized into a rigid grid of township boundaries, including t135n r46w and t134n r45w, intersected by a network of rural routes such as Co Rd 16 and 250th Ave. This layout illustrates a highly functional rural environment where every road and ditch serves the local farming economy.
