About this map

Milroy and Richland anchor the northern reaches of this rural landscape, where the agricultural grid of Rush County is shaped by a dense network of watercourses. The drainage of the area is defined by the branching paths of North Branch Clifty Creek, Middle Branch Clifty Creek, and South Branch Clifty Creek, which converge and wind toward the southwest. These creek beds and the Little Flatrock River offer a topographical contrast to the straight-line precision of the county road system.

For family history researchers, the map is particularly rich in burial sites that preserve the names of early settlers. Scattered across the township are the Overleese Cemetery, Layton Cemetery, Swails Cemetery, and Butcher Cemetery, among others. Small settlements like Williamstown, Sandusky, and Kingston serve as local hubs, marking the intersections and farmstead clusters that have characterized this part of Indiana for generations.
