2016 Map of Salol

About this map

Salol anchors the northern portion of this Roseau County landscape, appearing as a quiet crossroads community surrounded by the expansive agricultural and wetland drainage networks characteristic of the region. The map reveals a highly structured grid of section lines and county roads, reflecting the systematic land survey of the Minnesota prairie-border country. Water management is a primary feature of the terrain, visible through the engineered course of County Ditch Number Seven and the natural meanders of Bear Cr and Cow Cr. These waterways are essential components of the local hydrology, supporting the farming operations that define the area's economy. Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the location of Spruce Cem and Fairview Cem, which serve as vital landmarks for tracing the early families who settled this northern frontier. The map provides a clear record of rural infrastructure, from the primary corridor of 320th ST to the numerous local avenues and township roads that connect isolated farmsteads.
