About this map

The S Fork Roseau River and Roseau River meander through the prairie landscape of Roseau County, defining the drainage patterns of this northern Minnesota region. The small community of Wannaska sits at a critical junction where county roads meet the winding river, serving as a focal point for the surrounding rural sections. Further east, the locality of Pencer occupies a similarly river-oriented position.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the documentation of early burial sites, such as Salem Cem in the north and Mickinock Cem near the riverbanks. The map also records the extensive hydrological engineering of the area, including Sucker Cr, Paulson Cr, and County Ditch Number Twentyone, which reflect the long-standing efforts to manage the wetlands and support agricultural land use across the townships of T160N and T161N.
