2009 Map of Rush Center

About this map

Rush Center serves as the focal point of this Rush County landscape, where the confluence of the regional road network meets the waters of Walnut Creek. The town's grid is clearly defined by local thoroughfares including State St, Center St, and Union St, illustrating the structured expansion of the settlement north of the creek's meandering path. To the north of town, the Locust Hill Cemetery provides a significant touchstone for genealogical research, while the Rush Center Oil Field highlights the area's industrial character in the early 21st century. The geography is further shaped by the extensive drainage systems of Otter Creek and its various tributaries, which carve through the plains south of the main settlement. This survey documents the intersection of rural agriculture and natural resource extraction in central Kansas.
