2018 Map of Rhodes

About this map

Rhodes sits at the heart of this central Iowa landscape, positioned at the intersection of E Jefferson St and E Walnut St. The town is flanked by a significant concentration of local burial grounds, including Eden Cem to the east and Saint Josephs Cem just beyond, providing a clear spatial record for genealogical research. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the N Skunk River and its tributaries, such as Clear Cr and N-Timber Cr, which cut through the agricultural grid. To the west, the extensive waters of Hendrickson Marsh Lake dominate the lowlands near the Story and Marshall County line. This 2018 survey illustrates the persistent rural infrastructure of the region, where a dense network of numbered gravel roads and routes like Marshalltown Blvd connect isolated farmsteads and historical sites like Day Cem and Wilkey Cem.
