2022 Map of Wannaska

About this map

Wannaska serves as the primary focal point in this portion of Roseau County, where the S Fork Roseau River meanders northward through a landscape defined by an orderly grid of section lines and gravel roads. This contemporary survey details the hydraulic management of the region, specifically through infrastructure like County Ditch Number Twentyone, which integrates with natural tributaries such as Norin Cr and Paulson Cr. The settlement of Pencer and landmarks like Mickinock Cem and Salem Cem provide essential anchor points for local historians and genealogists. The map illustrates a rural environment where agricultural land is partitioned by long avenues and streets, following the township and range divisions of T160N and R39W, maintaining a settlement pattern that has persisted for generations in northern Minnesota.
