2022 Map of Falmouth

About this map

The agricultural landscape of Rush and Fayette Counties is defined by an intricate network of drainage ditches and creeks feeding into the Flatrock River. Small rural settlements like Falmouth, Fairview, and Raleigh anchor the crossroads of this section of Indiana, maintaining the spatial layout established during the mid-20th century. The terrain is marked by family and community history found at Zion Cemetery, Fairview Cemetery, and Hinchman Cemetery. Water management is central to the area's geography, evidenced by numerous named channels such as Miles Ditch, Lawless Ditch, and Wikoff Ditch that crisscross the farmland to support the region's productivity. In the north, Dungan Airport stands as a small-scale aviation landmark amidst the fields, while the southern boundary is defined by the community of Glenwood and the meandering path of Ben Davis Creek.
