2012 Map of North Henderson

About this map

Rio and North Henderson anchor this agricultural region of Mercer and Knox Counties, where the landscape is defined by the branching tributaries of Henderson Creek. The village of Rio is situated at the intersection of S Main St and E Center Ave, while North Henderson sits to the west along the railroad corridor. The map reveals a dense network of country burial grounds, including the Rio Baptist Cem, Mount Vernon Cem, and Deatherage Cem, which serve as vital markers for local genealogical research. Small, localized settlements like Shanghai City and Soperville persist amidst the section lines, connected by routes such as Knox Highway 34. The terrain is drained by several named waterways, most notably N Henderson Cr, Middle Henderson Cr, and Pennington Cr, which carve subtle valleys through the prairie fields. The Ernest E Orwig Airport provides a localized landmark for aviation history in this rural corridor.
