About this map

Fairfax serves as the primary hub for this agricultural portion of Renville County, situated at the intersection of MN-4 and MN-19. The town center is detailed with local infrastructure including the Post Office and residential streets such as Lincoln Ave W and 3rd Ave SE. North of the main settlement, a cluster of local history is preserved at Saint Andrews Cem and Saint Johns Cem.

The surrounding landscape is defined by an extensive and complex drainage network, characterized by named channels like Judicial Ditch Number Eight and County Ditch Number One Hundred that crisscross the prairie. These engineered waterways, alongside features like Round Lake, illustrate the region's long-term transformation for large-scale farming. Additional rural landmarks such as the Evangelical Lutheran Cem and Cairo Cem sit isolated among the grids of the county roads, marking the locations of early parish communities.
