About this map

Roodhouse and the smaller settlement of Wrights anchor this Greene County landscape, defined by a complex drainage network where Apple Creek and its many tributaries, including Negro Lick, Bear Creek, and Little Bear Creek, carve through the terrain. The eastern outskirts of Roodhouse are marked by Roodhouse Lake and a grid of residential streets such as E North St and S Roodhouse Ave.

Genealogists will find a high density of small family and community burial grounds scattered across the rural sections, including Tunnison Cem, Martins Prairie Cem, and the Union Prather Cem. A large block of land is designated as the Farm Service Agency Interest of Illinois, highlighting the area's ongoing agricultural significance. The intricate topography near Wolf Run and Birch Creek illustrates the transition from the town's built environment to the heavily wooded creek bottoms of the Illinois countryside.
