2021 Map of Rhodes

About this map

De Soto National Forest dominates the northern landscape of this region, where the piney woods are marked by a network of drainage systems including Thompson Creek and Tiger Cr. The settlement patterns here are defined by small communities such as Good Hope, Rhodes, and Blodgett, which serve as hubs for a rural road network heavily influenced by forestry and family landholdings. This modern survey illustrates the persistent importance of local history through sites like Brown Cem and Edwards Cem, while also documenting contemporary recreational use via the Little Tiger Atv Trail. The confluence of Jones, Perry, and Wayne counties creates a jurisdictional puzzle, as multiple creek branches like Beaver Dam Cr and Sweetwater Cr carve through the terrain, illustrating the enduring relationship between the area's hydrology and its secondary road development.
