2010 Map of Genoa

About this map

The village of Genoa and its surrounding townships are defined by a grid of rural roads and numerous small settlements that once served as vital post stops and rail hubs. Several named corners and small villages, such as Blackberry Corner, Williston, and Martin, dot the landscape between the various branches of the local drainage system. The complex hydrology of the area is evident in the many winding waterways like Packer Creek, South Branch Turtle Creek, and Toussaint Creek, which cut across the geometric road network. Genealogists will find several burial grounds, including Oak Wood Cemetery and Elliston Cemetery, alongside a high density of rural post offices that suggest the historical independence of these small communities. The presence of Toussaint Airpark and Chippewa Field highlights the region's aviation activity, while the network of roads like N Genda Clay Center Rd connects these disparate rural outposts.
