2022 Map of Roper South

About this map

Roper occupies the northwest corner of this landscape, where the town's street grid meets the agricultural and drainage networks of Washington County. The terrain is defined by an intricate system of water management, with the Main Canal and Lewis Canal cutting straight lines across the coastal plain to regulate the surrounding wetlands. These engineered waterways are essential to the character of the region, which transitions from the northern reaches of the East Dismal Swamp toward the western shores of Phelps Lake.
