2010 Map of Fairfax

About this map

Fairfax serves as the central hub of this agricultural landscape in Renville County, where a grid of rural roads connects scattered farms to the town center and the Fairfax Post Office. The surrounding prairie is defined by an extensive network of water management features, including County Ditch Number Thirtyfour and Judicial Ditch Number Eight, which drain the land toward small water bodies like Round Lake. This drainage system is a hallmark of the region's intensive farming history, shaping how the land was settled and cultivated. For those tracing family history, several burial grounds are preserved across the township, including the Evangelical Lutheran Cemetery, Saint Andrews Cemetery, Saint Johns Cemetery, and Cairo Cemetery. Near the town limits, the Valley View Campgrounds offers a point of local recreation amidst the productive fields.
