2013 Map of Roan

About this map

Roan sits at the intersection of Us-75 and several rural townships in this early 21st-century landscape along the border of Marshall and Polk Counties. The area's agricultural identity is clearly defined by a rigid section-line road network, including 210th St NW and 300th Ave NW, which carve through the Red River Valley. Aviation infrastructure is a notable component of the local economy and transport, represented by both the Warren Municipal Airport and the smaller Roan Airport to the south. The natural topography is shaped by the meandering course of the Snake River and its S Br Snake River, which provide the primary relief in an otherwise flat, productive prairie. Transport history is further detailed by the Great Eastern rail corridor and state highway Mn-1, which bisect the northern portion of the quadrangle.
