About this map

Falun Cemetery and Saint Phillips Cemetery sit within the rural agricultural landscape of northern Minnesota, marking the long-standing settlement of Roseau County. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Roseau River, which meanders through the southwestern corner of the quadrangle, joined by tributaries like Severson Creek and Rafferty Creek. These waterways and the surrounding drainage patterns influenced the placement of the grid-like road network, including County Hwy-9 and County Hwy-13.

Transitioning from farmland to managed timber and recreation, the southeastern portion of the map is dominated by Hayes Lake State Park and several forest access routes. The presence of Thompson Forest Rd and Palsburg Forest Rd highlights the region's intersection between private landholdings and public forest management. For genealogists, the map preserves the locations of local landmarks such as Beaver Cemetery, situated along the section lines that have organized this landscape since the early days of homesteading.
