2019 Map of Rushville

About this map

Rushville straddles the boundary between Ontario and Yates counties, anchored by the Rushville Village Cem and the waters of the W River. This agricultural landscape in the Finger Lakes region is defined by a high density of small cemeteries and family burying grounds, such as the Hopewell Burying Ground and Pickett's Corners Cem, which serve as vital markers for genealogical research. The terrain rises toward Lazarus Hill and Harkness Hill, overlooking the low-lying Potter Swamp and the meandering course of Flint Creek. Further north, the village of Gorham sits near the Gorham Cem and Pioneer Cem, while the educational campus of Finger Lakes Community College and the aviation facilities at Midlakes Airport reflect the modern infrastructure integrated into this traditionally rural area. These patterns of settlement and land use provide a clear view of the region's development into the early 21st century.
