About this map

The town of Moorland sits at a critical junction of local transportation and water management in southwest Webster County. Located south of S Br Lizard Cr, the landscape is defined by its transition from natural waterways to the engineered drainage systems essential for Iowa agriculture. The area includes the smaller settlement of Roelyn to the southwest, connected by a grid of rural avenues like Carter Ave and Dakota Ave.

Surface water patterns are remarkably dense here, with Prairie Cr, Spring Cr, and W Buttrick Cr carving through the prairie soil. The presence of Ditch Number 31 and Ditch Number 96 reflects the century-long effort to reclaim the land for farming. This 2013 survey provides a clear view of the modern roadway layout, including Co HWY p33 and Co RD d20, as they intersect with the residential streets of Western St and Linden St in the heart of the village.
