About this map

La Crosse serves as the focal point of this Rush County landscape, where the town's street grid, including 1st St and Oak St, meets the agricultural prairie. The map documents several significant community sites, such as the Rush County Fairgrounds and the central Post Office, which anchor the local social and civic life. The surrounding area is defined by the winding paths of Sand Creek and Mule Creek, highlighting the importance of these watercourses to the regional topography.

Local history researchers will find the placement of several burial grounds notable, including Saint Michaels Cemetery, La Crosse Cemetery, and the more distant Friends Cemetery. For those interested in regional aviation and infrastructure, the survey clearly marks the Rush County Airport, Hoover Landing Field, and the La Crosse Wastewater Treatment Facility, providing a comprehensive look at the town's modern utilities and transportation assets in the early 21st century.
