2018 Map of Fairbank

About this map

The Little Wapsipinicon River winds southward through this 2018 survey of northeast Iowa, anchoring the town of Fairbank. This area is notable for its intersection of four counties—Bremer, Fayette, Black Hawk, and Buchanan—all meeting near the southern half of the sheet. The settlement of Oran occupies a central position on the Fayette-Bremer line, surrounded by the geometric grid of agricultural section roads like Xavier Rd and Yukon Ave. Genealogists will find several significant burial sites, including Saint Peter Cem in the northwest, Immaculate Conception Cem near the river, and Fairbank Cem situated along the edge of the town. The drainage of Buck Cr carves through the western townships, illustrating the transition from the upland prairies to the river valley bottomlands.
