2015 Map of Rushville North

About this map

Littleton and the northern reaches of Rushville anchor this survey of Schuyler County, Illinois, where the landscape is defined by a dense network of creek branches and rural family burial grounds. The terrain is deeply carved by waterways including Sugar Cr, Brushy Cr, and Richie Br, creating a complex system of ridges and valleys that historical road patterns have long navigated. Local history and genealogy researchers will find an exceptional density of small cemeteries, such as Gay Cem, Moore Cem, and Houston Cem, which often represent the earliest settler families of the region. The map captures the agricultural continuity of central Illinois, from the small hub of Oakland Center to the larger town of Rushville, connected by a lattice of named rural routes like Hickory School RD and Boeur Branch RD that reflect the area's development before modern consolidation.
