About this map

Fairfield anchors the southern edge of this Jefferson County landscape, serving as a hub for the surrounding agricultural prairie. The map reveals a sophisticated water management system integrated into the terrain, characterized by Reservoir Number One, Reservoir Number Two, and Walton Lake. These features, alongside the drainage of Middle Walnut Cr and South Walnut Cr, illustrate the region's historical reliance on managed water resources for its growth.

Genealogical researchers will find a significant concentration of burial sites, from larger established grounds like Evergreen Cem and Memorial Lawn Cem to smaller family plots such as the Westenhaver Family Cem. The presence of Maharishi Vedic City and the Fairfield Municipal Airport north of the city center highlights the ongoing evolution of this Iowa community, while the settlement of Perlee remains a notable point of reference in the northeastern quadrant.
