2010 Map of Rowena

About this map

Rowena is the primary settlement in this section of Redwood County, characterized by a highly structured grid of section-line roads and managed agricultural drainage. This 2010 survey highlights a significant concentration of local burial grounds, including the New Avon Salem Methodist Cemetery and New Avon Cemetery, providing valuable data for genealogists tracing regional family histories. The landscape is defined by its engineering, notably the Judicial Ditch Number Five and County Ditch Number Fiftytwo, which illustrate the systematic modification of the prairie to support local farming operations. Primary transportation routes like County Hwy-70 and County Hwy-6 intersect near established community landmarks such as Saint Anns Cemetery and Bethany Cemetery, reflecting the enduring footprint of early twentieth-century rural settlement patterns.
