2018 Map of Bode

About this map

Bode and Rutland serve as the primary hubs in this section of Humboldt County, illustrating a landscape defined by the drainage patterns of the Des Moines River. In the north, the town of Bode is bordered by Bode Memorial Park Cem and Saint Olaf Cem, while the southern reaches of the map center on the river's path through Rutland. The rural infrastructure is largely organized around a grid of county highways and named streets like Florida Ave and Iowa Ave. Natural features such as Rutland Marsh and the curiously named Bloody Run intersect with agricultural drainage works like Ditch Number 7, showing how the local topography has been adapted for farming. Genealogists will find the detailed locations of Rutland Township Cem and other local burial grounds valuable for tracing family histories in the area.
