1975 Map of Rushville NE

About this map

Littleton anchors the northwest corner of this agricultural landscape in Schuyler County, where a dense grid of farmland and timber tracts is captured in high-detail orthophoto imagery. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Sugar Creek and its many wooded tributaries, which break the geometric patterns of the surrounding fields. At the southern edge of the sheet, the northern fringes of Rushville emerge, showing the transition from rural acreage to the town's expanding residential and commercial footprint. This orthophotoquad serves as a precise record of land use and vegetation patterns in the mid-1970s, illustrating the relationship between the natural drainage of the creek systems and the systematic development of the Illinois prairie.
