2016 Map of Rushville

About this map

The boundary between Fairfield and Perry Counties divides this rural landscape, which is defined by the headwaters of Little Rush Cr and Indian Cr. At the northern edge, the community of New Salem sits near the intersection of several historic township roads, accompanied by the New Salem Methodist Episcopal Cem and New Salem Methodist Protestant Cem. To the south, the village of Rushville and its neighbor West Rushville are prominent landmarks along the local highway network. The area is notable for its high density of family and community burial grounds, such as the Friend Ruffner Cem, Kaufman-Valentine Cem, and the Combs Family Cem. Modern hydrology is represented by the Rush Creek Watershed Structure 11 Reservoir and Rush Cr Lake, which have reshaped the drainage patterns of the upper Rush Creek basin.
