2010 Map of Rhodes

About this map

Rhodes and the adjacent settlement of Edenville anchor this portion of Marshall County, situated along the upper reaches of the North Skunk River. The landscape is defined by the gentle drainage patterns of Clear Creek and Willow Creek, which wind through a structured grid of county roads. For local historians and genealogists, the map is remarkably dense with burial sites, including the centrally located Eden Cemetery and Saint Josephs Cemetery, as well as the outlying Wilkey Cemetery, Day Cemetery, and Nicholls Cemetery. The northwest corner of the quadrangle is dominated by the Hendrickson Marsh Lake, regulated by the Hendrickson Marsh Dam, serving as a significant local landmark and conservation area. The spatial arrangement of these features illustrates a classic Midwestern agricultural township, where small communities and family-named cemeteries are connected by an extensive network of gravel and paved avenues.
