2010 Map of Rothsay

About this map

The town of Rothsay serves as the focal point of this western Minnesota landscape, situated where local travel routes converge near the Rothsay Post Office. The geographic organization of the area is defined by a grid of agricultural section lines and county roads, reflecting the persistent structure of Red River Valley farming communities. Genealogy and local history are anchored by several burial sites scattered across the township, including Our Saviors Cemetery and Hamar Cemetery near the village, and the more distant German Cemetery to the southwest. This 2010 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey shows how modern thoroughfares like County Hwy-11 and County Hwy-19 have integrated with older section roads such as 320th St and 100th Ave, maintaining a rural character defined by small-town hubs and isolated landmarks.
