2016 Map of Falmouth

About this map

The agricultural landscape of Rush and Fayette counties is defined by a dense network of water management features and small crossroads communities. Settlements like Falmouth, Fairview, and Raleigh serve as anchors in a region where the natural flow of the Flatrock River and Ben Davis Cr has been augmented by numerous engineered waterways. Local history is preserved in small burial grounds such as Raleigh Cem, Fairview Cem, and Hinchman Cem, which stand near drainage features like Lawless Ditch and Kirkpatrick Ditch. The map illustrates the grid of rural roads, including Main St in Raleigh and W Longwood Rd, that connect these historic hamlets. Farther south, the small community of Glenwood and the locality of Mauzy mark the transition toward the southern edges of the survey.
