2010 Map of Rushmore

About this map

Rushmore serves as the primary population center on this Nobles County landscape, centered around the Rushmore Post Office and a grid of residential and commercial streets. The surrounding territory is defined by the headwaters of the Little Rock River and its tributary, Little Rock Creek, which wind through a predominantly agricultural grid. The importance of local heritage is visible in the distribution of community sites, including the Rohwer Airport and several historic burial grounds. Genealogists and local historians will find value in the specific locations of the Sunset Rest Cemetery, Norwegian Lutheran Cemetery, and Emmanuel Presbyterian Cemetery. To the south, the small settlement of Ransom sits near the river, illustrating the dispersed rural settlement pattern of southwestern Minnesota in the early 21st century.
