Geography

Rio is in the northwest corner of Knox County, 13 miles (21 km) north of Galesburg, the county seat. The village, like its other rural neighbors, has rich soil ideal for farming corn and soybeans. A few very small creeks run through its outskirts. None of them are formally named. There are a few small hills that coast under the streets of the village, and there are a few sizable dropoffs throughout the land that almost look like shallow or gradual cliffs as some of the local agricultural fields are rolling and steep. The land drains to North Henderson Creek, a west-flowing stream which runs via Henderson Creek to the Mississippi River near Oquawka.

According to the 2010 census, Rio has a total area of 0.27 square miles (0.70 km), all land.
