2022 Map of Roan

About this map

Snake River and its tributary, the S Br Snake River, meander through this agricultural landscape near the Marshall and Polk County line. The settlement of Roan serves as a focal point for the surrounding rural sections, which are defined by a strict grid of county roads and township lines. Aviation history is particularly well-represented in the area, with both the Warren Municipal Airport and the smaller Roan Airport appearing on this sheet. The presence of the Melgard Coulee in the northwest corner highlights the subtle drainage patterns that shape this prairie region. This survey provides a clear look at the infrastructure of the early 21st century, showing how the river systems and the rectangular survey system dictate the placement of farms and small transport hubs.
