2016 Map of Rowena

About this map

Agricultural plains and organized water management define this landscape in Redwood County. The settlement of Wabasso sits on the western edge of the quadrangle, while the smaller community of Rowena occupies the southeastern corner. This region is characterized by a precise grid of rural roads, such as Knox Ave and 260th St, which partition the land into productive farm plots. Significant engineering for irrigation and drainage is evident through named waterways like Judicial Ditch Number Five and County Ditch Number Fiftytwo. For those tracing local heritage, several burial grounds are scattered throughout the township, including the New Avon Cem and the New Avon Salem Methodist Cem, providing a clear record of the area's established rural congregations and historical settlement patterns near Wabasha Cr.
