2013 Map of Keystone North

About this map

Rogersville and Geneva sit within the high agricultural plains of Benton County, defined by a rigid grid of section-line roads that dominate this rural landscape. This modern digital survey illustrates the persistent geometry of Iowa's farming country, where the straight lines of routes like 13th Ave and 64th St are interrupted only by the meandering paths of local waterways. The southern portion of the map reveals the upper reaches of Prairie Cr, while Mud Cr drains the northeastern corner near Geneva. These drainages provide the only relief to the strictly ordered township and range system. The map documents the subtle shifts in local infrastructure, including the naming of specialized routes such as 66th Street Dr and 70th Street Dr, which navigate the gentle slopes near the creek beds.
