2024 Map of Bushnell West

About this map

The western edges of Bushnell define the eastern margin of this landscape, where the street grid of the town meets the agricultural stretches of McDonough County. This survey highlights the complex drainage systems that feed into the East Fork La Moine River, including the meandering paths of Drowning Fork and Farmers Fork. The terrain is marked by small rural settlements and localized landmarks, such as the Runyan Aviation field and the crossroad community of Scottsburg. For local historians and genealogists, the map preserves the locations of several burial grounds, including the Aberghast Pearce Cem, Hageman Cem, and the Solon Robinson Cem. These cemeteries are often the only remaining markers of the early families who established farms along the North Fork and Short Fork.
