2018 Map of Rushville South

About this map

Rushville serves as the focal point for this southern Illinois region, where a dense network of family-named cemeteries suggests generations of rural settlement. The landscape is defined by the significant waters of Schuy-Rush Lake and the winding course of Crane Cr, which drains toward the southern border near the Schuyler Co and Brown Co line. For genealogists, the map is remarkably dense with burial grounds including Hardscrabble Cem, Old Lawler Cem, and Burnsides Cem, many situated on the ridges overlooking Town Br and E Fork Crane Cr. The presence of the Schuy-Rush Airport and the grid of residential streets like W Washington St and E Clinton St reflect the modern infrastructure of the county seat, while surrounding terrain remains dominated by the complex drainage basins of Horney Br and Sand Br.
