2014 Map of Fairbury

About this map

The Little Blue River cuts a wide alluvial valley diagonally across this Jefferson County landscape, anchoring the settlement of Fairbury at the junction of Us-136 and Ne-15. This 2014 survey captures the community's established grid, extending from the central business district near 7th ST and 8th ST out to the Fairbury Municipal Airport and the industrial corridors along Industrial Ave. The surrounding prairie is defined by a dense network of sectional roads and water management features, including numerous reservoirs such as Cub Creek Reservoir 17-B and Davis Reservoir. For genealogists and local historians, the map provides precise locations for several rural burying grounds, including Richland Center Cem to the north and Grandy Cem to the east, while the village of Hedrix sits tucked near the confluence of Little Sandy Creek and the river valley.
