1981 Map of Rushville South

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

The county seat of Rushville anchors the northern edge of this Illinois landscape, situated at a transition between the organized street grid of the town and the deeply carved valleys of the Crane Creek watershed. This 1981 survey documents a community shaped by its public institutions and recreation, featuring the Schuy-Rush Park surrounding Schuy-Rush Lake and the Schuy-Rush Airport to the west. For genealogists, the map is remarkably dense with family-named burial grounds including Haardscrabble Cem, Black Cem, and Hosmer Cem. The southern reach of the quadrangle descends toward the Illinois River, where the Bluff Ditch and local Sandpit operations indicate the changing geology of the river bottoms near Cooperstown. From the Courthouse downtown to the Scripps Park Golf Course, the sheet provides a detailed look at Schuyler County life in the early 1980s.
