1959 Map of Rushville

About this map

The Flatrock River winds through the heart of the county seat at Rushville, where late-1950s development meets the older patterns of Indiana's agricultural heartland. This period shows a well-established civic center featuring the Courthouse, City Hall, and several dedicated educational sites including Memorial Sch and St Marys Sch. Outside the city limits, the landscape transitions into the smaller settlements of Circleville and Milroy, the latter situated near the southern boundary along the Little Flatrock River. The map reveals a high concentration of community burial grounds, such as the expansive East Hill Cemetery and the more isolated County Farm Cem. A Landing Field southeast of town and a Covered Bridge further south illustrate the diverse modes of transit and the persistence of earlier engineering in the mid-century landscape.
