About this map

The S Fork Roseau River winds through the lowlands of northwestern Minnesota, defining the rural character of this borderland landscape. Near the riverside settlement of Torfin, the river’s path is supplemented by human engineering, most notably the straight-line drainage of Judicial Ditch Number 63. This 2013 survey illustrates the sparse, grid-based settlement pattern of the region, where family and community landmarks are anchored by quiet intersections like Casperson. Genealogists may find value in the location of the Golden Valley Cem, situated along the section lines north of the river. The map also delineates the jurisdictional boundary between Roseau Co and Marshall Co, following the path of 460th St NE as it cuts across the prairie landscape.
