2016 Map of Rushford East

About this map

The Root River carves through the southeastern corner of Minnesota, defining a landscape of deep valleys and sharp ridges near the borders of Fillmore, Winona, and Houston counties. This survey captures the rural character of Rushford and the surrounding Rushford Village, where the terrain transitions from the lowlands of Baker Valley and Wiscoy Valley to prominent heights like Vinegar Hill and Cushings Peak. The map provides specific detail for local history and genealogy, identifying family-associated sites such as Saint Johns Cem and Sherwood Cem, alongside smaller settlements like Perkins and Oak Ridge. The drainage network, including Money Cr, Rush Creek, and Ferndale Cr, illustrates the intricate topography that has historically shaped agricultural patterns and road placement in this part of the state, with routes like Co Hwy 17 and Co Hwy 27 following the natural contours of the Driftless Area terrain.
