2019 Map of Salol NW

About this map

Roseau River meanders through this low-lying landscape in northern Roseau County, where the hydrology is defined by a mix of natural waterways and early 20th-century drainage projects. The map documents the extensive wetlands characteristic of the region, punctuated by elevated terrain such as Popple Island. This area, situated just south of the United States border, shows a transition from structured township grids to more fluid natural features. Modern infrastructure like Co Rd 28 and Mattson Island Rd provide access to the remote interior, while the presence of Judicial Ditch Number Sixtyone illustrates the historical effort to manage the local water table for agricultural use. Small watercourses like Hay Cr and the Lost River further define the drainage patterns of this rural Minnesota terrain.
