2014 Map of Roanwood

About this map

The Roanwood Valley landscape in Valley County reveals a sparse but persistent settlement pattern characteristic of northeast Montana. Centered on the community of Roanwood, the area is defined by the drainage of Roanwood Creek as it winds toward the southern portions of the quadrangle. Agricultural and ranching interests are evident in the grid of local roads, such as Roanwood Rd and Stelflug Rd, which provide access across the township lines of t37n r40e and t37n r41e. The northern boundary of the map follows the international border of the United States, placing this remote prairie region at the very edge of the state. For genealogists and local historians, the Roanwood Cemetery serves as a primary landmark for tracing the families who settled this high-plains terrain near Mosquito Creek.
