About this map

Rothville serves as the primary settlement in this part of north-central Missouri, situated near the convergence of several significant watercourses. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of W Yellow Cr and E Yellow Cr, which join to form Yellow Cr south of the village. This drainage system creates a network of creek-bottom wetlands and timbered draws that contrast with the organized grid of the surrounding agricultural uplands.

Genealogists can find several notable burial sites including the Rothville Cem, Stains Cem, and Redding Cem, which are scattered among the township lines of Linn and Chariton Counties. The road network, including family-named routes like John Roth Rd and Stutsman Rd, reflects the deep-rooted land ownership patterns of the region. Distinctive local landmarks such as Goose Lake and Halls Br further illustrate the area's natural hydrology within the lower Grand River basin.
