About this map

The county seat of Rushville serves as the focal point of this Indiana landscape, situated where the Flatrock River and several of its tributaries converge. This 2019 survey captures the city's modern street grid, including Conrad Harcourt Way, while also documenting the enduring footprints of local history through its numerous cemeteries. Just south of the city center lies Circleville, a distinct settlement area along the river's edge.

Agricultural drainage patterns are clearly visible across the surrounding rural acreage, defined by watercourses like Moore Ditch, Harrigan Br, and Hurricane Cr. The map is particularly valuable for genealogical research, identifying several family and community burial grounds such as Laughlin Cem, East Hill Cem, and the County Farm Cem. The convergence of the Little Flatrock River and the main river branch illustrates the hydraulic geography that historically influenced the development of Rush County.
