Howard (1907), Chapter VIII bounds; USGS record for Juday Creek
The town is a river township's town but not a river town. The St. Joseph River is Clay Township's western boundary in Howard's own bounds for the township, and the river's great south bend — the bend that names South Bend — lies south and west of the town; no carrier reached states a Roseland-to-river distance, and none is printed (the Census place polygon measured against the national hydrography flowline is the named settler). The town itself stands on the drained gravel plain east of the river, its local waters small.Juday Creek does not run through Roseland. The creek — a groundwater-fed, third-order tributary some 19 kilometres long, gaged by the U.S. Geological Survey (station 04101370) and one of Indiana's few naturally reproducing brown-trout streams — rises in the Granger farmland, flows west through the Grape Road corridor and the Warren Golf Course reach and the South Bend neighbourhoods, and meets the river at the Izaak Walton League property: east and south of the town throughout, in the same township drainage but never in the town. The township's other named water is a different stream and is not merged with it: Sheffield Creek, which in Howard drained the township's southwestern lowlands toward the Harris Township marshes and powered the Sheffield (later Siders) flouring mill built on the river in the winter of 1836–37, four miles north of South Bend.
