About this map

Roseville sits at the heart of this agricultural landscape in Floyd County, where the transition between township boundaries like Ulster and Saint Charles is marked by a network of drainage and rail. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of Flood Creek, Stewart Creek, and Beaver Creek, which carve through the section lines of the rural grid. Cultural landmarks such as St Charles Ch and the adjacent St Charles Cem provide focal points for local genealogy, while Flood Creek Cem sits further west near the creek's edge.

Industrial and transport infrastructure is represented by two distinct rail lines: the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific crossing the northern half of the map and the Iowa Terminal passing through Oakwood to the south. The presence of a Roadside Park along the highway near the center of the sheet reflects the mid-century development of regional travel and recreation within this Iowa farming community.
