2012 Map of Rushville South

About this map

Rushville serves as the northern anchor of this landscape, where the street grid transitions into a countryside defined by the winding course of Crane Cr and the waters of Schuy-Rush Lake. This area of Illinois is particularly dense with pioneer and family cemeteries, offering a rich resource for genealogists. Numerous burial grounds, including the curiously named Hardscrabble Cem, Old Lawler Cem, and Persinger Cem, are scattered across the township lines. To the south, the settlement of Sugar Grove sits near the confluence of several small waterways like Town Br, while the La Moine River cuts across the southwestern corner. The presence of Independence Hall and Schuy-Rush Airport reflects the mix of local civic landmarks and modern infrastructure that characterizes this portion of Schuyler County.
