2022 Map of Rhodes

About this map

The town of Rhodes sits at the heart of this Central Iowa landscape, situated along the county line separating Story Co and Marshall Co. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the N Skunk River and its various tributaries, including Clear Cr and Willow Cr. This modern survey illustrates the repurposing of former railroad corridors into recreational routes, notably the Heart of Iowa Nature Trl which cuts across the township. For genealogists and local historians, the map is particularly useful for locating several rural burial grounds scattered across the countryside, such as German Baptist Cem to the northeast and Saint Josephs Cem and Eden Cem near the town center. The western edge is dominated by the Hendrickson Marsh Lake, a significant wetland feature that shapes the local drainage patterns near Plum Cr.
