2018 Map of Rio

About this map

Rio serves as the primary hub in this portion of Columbia County, where the grid of Wells St and Lincoln Ave meets the rail corridor. The surrounding agricultural landscape is defined by its glaciated hydrology, featuring scattered water bodies like Willow Mill Pond, Silver Springs Pond, and Grassy Lake. Local history and genealogy are well-represented by a high density of rural burial sites, including Ohio Cem, Saint Joseph's Catholic Cem, and the Bonnet Prairie Lutheran Cem located further south. To the east, the village of Doylestown sits near Saint Johns Lutheran Cem, while the hamlet of Otsego marks the southern reaches near the N Br Crawfish River. The presence of Higgins Airport amidst the farm fields provides a modern contrast to the traditional rural infrastructure of established county roads like Co Rd B and Co Rd G.
