2010 Map of Wannaska SW

About this map

The South Fork Roseau River winds through this rural landscape in Roseau County, defining the drainage patterns and historical settlement of this northern Minnesota region. The small communities of Torfin and Casperson anchor the survey area, connected by a network of sectional roads and county highways that reflect the rigid agricultural grid of the northern plains. This 2010 digital survey preserves the location of Golden Valley Cemetery, a vital landmark for genealogical research and local history. Beyond the natural river course, human modification of the landscape is evident through water management features such as Judicial Ditch Number 63, which serves the low-lying terrain. The map provides a detailed view of the infrastructure supporting this farming district, including County Hwy-144 and County Hwy-18 crossing the river.
