2019 Map of Rushville

About this map

Rushville and West Rushville sit along the southern edge of this landscape, established near the headwaters of Little Rush Creek. The region is defined by a dense network of family and community burial grounds, reflecting the deep ancestral roots of Fairfield County. From the New Salem Methodist Episcopal Cemetery in the north to the Combs Family Cemetery in the southeast, these sites alongside New Salem and Oakthorpe preserve the genealogy of the area's early farmsteaders. The terrain is carved by numerous waterways, including Indian Creek and Walnut Creek, while Rush Creek Lake and Memory Lanes Park Lake provide localized water management and recreation. Roads like Lancaster Thornville Road NE and Baltimore Somerset Road connect these rural hamlets, following the undulating rises between Perry and Fairfield counties.
