2017 Map of Roxboro

About this map

Kansas Prairie defines the central landscape of this Washington quadrangle, where a network of section-line roads structures the agricultural geography of Adams County. The terrain is marked by the presence of small local settlements and named localities including Roxboro in the northwest and Servia to the east, illustrating the dispersed rural community structure common to this region. At the heart of the area lies the Kansas Prairie Cem, a critical site for local genealogical research and a landmark for the families who settled this high ground. Transportation is strictly organized along routes like Lind-Warden Rd and W Providence Rd, which connect the scattered homesteads and small hubs such as Beatrice in the south. The mapping of township and range lines, including t17n r32e, provides a clear view of the public land survey system that dictated the development of these prairie lands.
