1971 Map of Fairfield
USGS Topo · Published 1973About this map
The Wayne County seat of Fairfield serves as the focal point of this 1970s land study, showing a community structured by its position at the junction of the Baltimore and Ohio and Southern railroads. The town's layout includes civic anchors such as the Courthouse and Po, while the outskirts are dotted with rural landmarks like French Memorial Park and the Maple Hill Cemetery. Beyond the city limits, the landscape reflects the dual influence of agriculture and the petroleum industry, with the Clay City Oil Field and Mount Erie Oil Field cutting through the prairie townships. This era of development is marked by a network of drainage improvements like the Bail Creek Lateral Ditch and the Little Elm Lateral, which altered the natural flow of Bail Creek and the Elm River to support the surrounding farmland and oil operations.
