1961 Map of Rushville

About this map

Rushville and West Rushville sit at the geographic heart of this mid-century survey, positioned along the winding course of Little Rush Creek. The landscape reflects a deeply rooted agricultural and resource-based economy, defined by the Conrail rail line and a series of extractive sites including numerous Oil Wells, a Gravel Pit, and various Drift Holes. The rural character is punctuated by family-named landmarks and local centers of community life, such as Sheridan High Sch and the Zion Ch to the northeast.
