2013 Map of Rossville

About this map

Rossville stands as a primary point of settlement in this rural corner of Allamakee County, where the driftless-style topography is carved by a dense network of waterways including the Yellow River and the winding Paint Cr. The landscape is defined by its ridge-top roads and deep hollows, notably seen in the path of Bear Cr and Penny Springs. This 2011-2012 era survey reflects the persistence of long-established land divisions and local transportation routes. Historic transit and naming patterns are visible in labels such as Breezy Corners Rd and Red School Rd, the latter hinting at the location of former rural educational sites. The crossing at Red Bridge over the Yellow River marks a significant local landmark in the southern portion of the quadrangle, illustrating the importance of river crossings in connecting these dispersed agricultural communities.
