1980 Map of Rushford East

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

The Root River winds through this 1980 survey, carving a deep valley through the driftless-style terrain of southeastern Minnesota. Much of the high ground is protected by the Richard J Dorer Memorial Hardwood State Forest, highlighting a landscape where timbered ridges like Oak Ridge overlook fertile agricultural bottoms. The rail corridor of the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific follows the river's path, serving the small community of Rushford and the rural stop of Perkins. Evidence of local industry is visible in several scattered sandpits and a quarry, while recreational landmarks such as the Ferndale Country Club and Roadside Park mark the social geography of the era. Genealogists will find the locations of St Johns Cem and Sherwood Cem preserved alongside family-named landmarks like Hovde and Cushings Peak.
