2013 Map of Rosserdale

About this map

The agrarian landscape of Adair County is defined here by the winding course of the Middle River and several drainage creeks including N Turkey Cr and S Turkey Cr. The small community of Rosserdale is situated near the center of the grid-patterned road system, while Howe sits further east along Riverside Ave. This rural territory preserves traditional local identifiers such as School Number 4, marking the historical importance of localized education districts in Iowa's township structure. Conservation and recreation areas are prominent in the southern portion of the sheet, specifically the Meadow Lake State Public Hunting Area surrounding Meadow Lake. Transport and leisure are represented by the northern corridor of Interstate 80 and the 5 x 80 Golf Course, showing how modern infrastructure and local recreation have integrated into the long-standing agricultural framework of the region.
