About this map

The Roseau River meanders through the southern portion of this northern Minnesota landscape, creating a complex drainage network that includes Severson Cr and Rafferty Cr. The land is defined by a rigid section-line road grid, where long thoroughfares like 460th Ave and 480th Ave provide access to rural homesteads and isolated burial sites. Notable for genealogists, the map identifies several distinct cemeteries including Saint Phillips Cem, Beaver Cem, and Falun Cem, which serve as quiet markers of the area's early settlement history.

Industrial and conservation efforts intersect here, as seen in the presence of County Ditch Number Twentyone and the borders of Hayes Lake State Park. Moving east, the regular grid gives way to the winding paths of the Beltrami Island State Forest, indicated by the courses of Thompson Forest Rd and Palsburg Forest Rd. The map illustrates a rural landscape where agriculture and forest management dominate the terrain.
