2023 Map of Rushville

About this map

West Rushville and Rushville anchor the southern reach of this landscape, situated along a prominent east-west corridor where Little Rush Creek carves through the terrain. The map reveals a high density of ancestral burial grounds, suggesting deep-rooted family ties across this portion of Fairfield and Perry counties. To the north, the settlement of New Salem is notable for housing both the New Salem Methodist Episcopal and New Salem Methodist Protestant cemeteries, reflecting distinct denominational histories in a single community. The drainage patterns of Indian Creek and Walnut Creek define the agricultural layout, while smaller hamlets like Oakthorpe and Bruno appear at significant road junctions. Numerous family-named landmarks, such as the Kaufman - Valentine and Combs Family cemeteries, provide specific touchpoints for genealogical research in this rural Ohio quadrangle.
