2015 Map of Rushville South

About this map

Rushville serves as the northern anchor for this Illinois landscape, which transitions from organized town blocks into a dense network of family-named landmarks and rural cemeteries. The central geography is dominated by Schuy-Rush Lake, where the waters of Town Br and Horney Br collect. This area reveals a significant genealogical record, with nearly two dozen burial grounds including Old Lawler Cem, Hardscrabble Cem, and Persinger Cem scattered among the drainage basins of Crane Cr and the La Moine River. The presence of the Schuy-Rush Airport near the intersection of Old US-24 Rd and Co Farm Rd illustrates the mid-century infrastructure supporting this agricultural region. To the south, the settlement of Sugar Grove sits near the winding course of Logan Cr, providing a localized view of Schuyler County's rural settlement patterns and historic land divisions.
