William P. Rawn has directed Washington County road planning and construction since 1913. The Iowa system created by the Brockway Bergman law and later 1918 changes centralized road work under trained engineers, with Rawn shaping the county’s highway network, paving from 1927 onward and overseeing water works projects in Washington. Born in Storm Lake, he trained at Iowa State and earlier worked in Centerville and Rock Island.
