2015 Map of Fairfield

About this map

The county seat of Fairfield anchors the southwestern corner of this Wayne County landscape, where the town's grid meets a sprawling network of rural section roads and water management features. The area north and east of town is defined by a series of north-south running waterways, including Pilcher Cr, Polecat Cr, and the Elm River. These are joined by engineered drainage systems like the Little Elm Lateral and Gerber Lateral, which facilitate agriculture across the flatlands. For genealogists, the map reveals a high density of rural burial grounds such as Buckeye Cem and Posey Cem, many of which appear to be the final resting places of early farming families. Near the center of the sheet, Toms Prairie stands out as a distinct geographic area, flanked by South Toms Prairie Cem and water bodies like Cullum Lake.
