About this map

Rothville serves as the primary settlement in this part of Chariton County, situated at a junction where the landscape is defined by the winding paths of Yellow Creek and its various tributaries. The town is surrounded by a network of drainage systems, including Slater Branch to the east and White Oak Branch to the south, illustrating the importance of these waterways to the local topography and historical agricultural layout.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the documentation of local burial grounds, specifically Stains Cemetery in the northeast and Redding Cemetery located central to the map. The map also detailes the convergence of West Yellow Creek and East Yellow Creek, along with smaller features like Goose Lake and Halls Branch, which provide clear landmarks for tracing 21st-century property lines and rural road developments like Co Hwy-210 and Co Hwy-213.
