About this map

Fairfield serves as the focal point of this Wayne County landscape, situated where the terrain transitions into a complex network of agricultural drainage. The southeastern corner of the city is marked by several burial grounds, including Maple Hill Cem, Shaeffer Cem, and Curry Cem, while the Old Fairfield Reservoir lies just to the north. These features, along with the Po downtown, define the civic center of the region during the early 21st century.

Beyond the city limits, the land is defined by the Elm River and its numerous tributaries such as Polecat Cr and Deer Creek. The importance of water management is evident through engineered waterways like the Gerber Lateral and the Elm River Drainage Ditch. Scattered rural settlements and historic family sites like Toms Prairie and Ebenezer Cem are connected by a grid of county roads, with river crossings facilitated by the Butler Bridge and Price Bridge.
