About this map

The confluence of the Winnebago River and the Shell Rock River defines the central topography of this Floyd County landscape, centered on the city of Rockford. This area reflects the organized grid of the Public Land Survey System, with township lines like t95n r18w and t96n r18w delineating the agricultural territory. Genealogists will find several key burial grounds documented, including Riverside Cem near the river and the Rock Grove Township Cem and Rudd Township Cem in the northern reaches of the quadrangle.

The town of Rudd sits at the northern edge, bordered by Flood Creek, while smaller tributaries like Whiskey Cr and Beaver Cr drain the surrounding farmlands. The transport network is a mix of established routes such as Co HWY t24 and local roads like Red Ball RD and Winnebago RD, illustrating the connectivity between these prairie settlements and the river valleys that originally dictated their placement.
