About this map

New Salem and Orange anchor this agricultural landscape in southeastern Rush County, where the transition between the Little Flatrock River and Little Salt Cr drainage basins defines the terrain. The map captures a contemporary rural layout characterized by an extensive grid of county roads and historic pikes, such as E Orange Pike and W Coletrane Rd.

Genealogists and local historians can trace the paths of numerous waterways, including Frazee Cr and the various branches of N Br Garrison Cr, which have long influenced property lines and early settlement patterns. Distinctive landmarks like the McMinn Airport and Woodland Retreat Lake reflect modern land use alongside established hamlets like Farmington and Mauzy at the northern edge of the survey.
