2012 Map of Rose

About this map

Rose and the surrounding Woodson County countryside are defined by a grid of rural routes and the wandering paths of several prairie streams. The landscape is marked by the unique geological formation of Rose Dome, which sits just south of the settlement. Water features are prominent throughout the quadrangle, including the Yates Center Reservoir and the headwaters of S Owl Creek, Bloody Run, and E Buffalo Creek. Local genealogy and land use are traced through markers like Kaila Cemetery and Pleasant Valley Cemetery, situated along the section roads. Near the northwestern corner, municipal interests for nearby Yates Center are represented by the Yates Center Airport and Lakeside Golf Course, while the rest of the map remains largely agricultural with a network of bird-named roads such as Nighthawk Road and Oriole Road.
