2018 Map of Fairfield

About this map

Fairfield serves as the focal point of this Wayne County landscape, where the street grid of the county seat gives way to a complex network of rural drainages and family-named landmarks. The terrain is defined by the Elm River and its accompanying Elm River Drainage Ditch, which cut through the northern townships near Butler Bridge. Small bodies of water like Cullum Lake and Steiner Lake dot the central sections, while the Old Fairfield Reservoir sits just northwest of the city center. For those tracing local heritage, the map is punctuated by numerous rural burial grounds including Buckeye Cem, Hearn Cem, and Nunn Cem. The eastern portion of the quadrangle is occupied by the open lands of Toms Prairie, a distinct topographic feature supported by the waters of Bail Cr and the Bail Cr Lateral.
