1948 Map of Fairfield

About this map

Fairfield serves as the focal point of this Wayne County landscape, where the Southern and Baltimore and Ohio railroads intersect to drive the regional economy. The map reveals a dense network of early rural social life, evidenced by the numerous schools and churches that served the outlying farming communities. Notable settlements include Jeffersonville Geff PO and Mill Shoals, while the countryside is dotted with family-named landmarks like the Crews Cem and Posey Cem.
