1981 Map of Ruso
USGS Topo · Published 1982About this map
Ruso stands at the center of this prairie landscape, a small settlement positioned along the Soo Line railroad tracks near the border of McHenry and McLean counties. The surrounding terrain is defined by the glacial pothole geography of the Missouri Coteau, where countless small wetlands and depressions dot the landscape. To the south, the broad depression of Horseshoe Valley transitions into the upland plains of Otis and Andrews. Conservation areas are prominent in this quadrant, notably the Lake Otis National Wildlife Refuge and a designated National Waterfowl Production Area, highlighting the region's importance for migratory birds. Local history is anchored by the Ruso Cem and the former sites of Bauer and Boozinny, along with a rural Townhall located southeast of Otis Lake.
