2018 Map of Rushville North

About this map

Littleton and Oakland Center anchor this rural landscape in Schuyler County, where the terrain is deeply etched by a complex drainage system flowing toward the Illinois River basin. The map reveals a high density of small family and community burial grounds, such as Sugar Grove North Cem and Gillenwater Cem, which are invaluable for genealogical research into the region’s early settler families. The township lines of t3n r2w and t3n r1w organize a grid of country roads, including Old Macomb Rd and Log Cabin Rd, that navigate the ridges between numerous waterways like Brushy Cr and McKee Br. This 2018 survey captures the persistent agricultural character of the area just north of Rushville, illustrating how modern infrastructure follows the same high-ground paths established by 19th-century pioneers.
