About this map

Strasburg lies at the southern edge of this high plains landscape, where the town's northward expansion meets the rural expanses of Adams County. The map documents a transition between organized residential streets and large-scale agricultural and aviation operations. This era of land use is clearly marked by specialized infrastructure, including the Comanche Livestock Airport and the Comanche Airfield LLC Airport, reflecting the region's reliance on both livestock transport and private aviation.

Ephemeral drainage patterns define the topography, with Kiowa Creek and Wolf Creek cutting through the terrain. The central namesake, Roper School, stands as a historical waypoint amidst a grid of section roads like Strasburg Rd and Pass Me By Rd. This 2013 survey provides a clear view of the rural-to-suburban interface, tracing how traditional landmarks like Spring Gulch remain relevant as the local road network becomes more formalized.
