2010 Map of Rose Hill

About this map

Rose Hill and its surrounding rural townships are defined by the winding paths of the North Skunk River and South Skunk River, which frame a landscape of organized section lines and small creek systems. This 2010 survey illustrates the enduring agricultural character of Mahaska County, centered on the community at Rose Hill and the Rose Hill Post Office. For genealogists, this map is particularly valuable for its high density of family-named burial grounds, including Bedwell Cemetery, Hopewell Cemetery, Waddell Cemetery, and Jackson Cemetery. Settlements like Atwood, Tioga, and White Oak persist as named locations, while the waterways of Middle Creek, Snyder Creek, and Goose Lake shape the local drainage. The map provides a contemporary view of these traditional Iowa crossroads, showing the persistence of rural communities like Tioga and their associated landmarks, such as Tioga Cemetery.
