Hi Sandi, The Rush Springs area has mainly rolling hills, some wooded areas (mostly in the valleys and mostly post oak trees). Further west 35 miles is Mt. Scott, and some other small mountains..or so they are called in Oklahoma. Rush's claim to fame is the spring that the town takes its name from. This spring flows constantly. Its location is in Jeff Davis park right in town. It was a watering place on the Old Chisholm Trail. My guess would be that while there is terrain to hide out in the main draw was the steady water source. I was not raised here though I live here now. But my dad was so I can ask him some more questions the next time I see him. Oh Yeah, Rush 's library doesn't have a genealogy section. But there is a good library in Lawton (to the west) and in Chickasha (to the north). Tammy SandKatC@aol.com wrote: > Hi Tammy: > > How sweet of you to offer to help!
