2011 Map of Rhyse

About this map

Dry Fork and its tributaries, including Swanson Branch and Humes Creek, carve through the Dent County landscape as it appeared in the early 21st century. The map reveals a dispersed rural community structured around small settlements like Rhyse, Ranger, and Joy. Family heritage is deeply embedded in the geography, with numerous burial grounds such as Woolford Cemetery, Berry Cemetery, and Wallace Cemetery dotting the terrain. The presence of the Montauk State Public Hunting Area in the south and the Mund Dam near Smoky Hollow indicates a region where traditional land use and conservation intersect. This survey provides a precise look at the network of county roads, such as Co RD-254 and Co RD-605, that connect the various hollows, including Coon Den Hollow and Johnson Hollow, which define the local topography.
