2017 Map of Fairmont

About this map

The BNSF Railway corridor anchors the settlement of Fairmont, where a grid of streets including Main St and Jefferson St reflects the town's historical development as a regional hub. Located on the border of York and Fillmore Counties, the landscape is defined by the agricultural drainage of the West Fork Big Blue River and Indian Cr. This survey illustrates the transition from traditional rural homesteads to modern land use, marked by features such as the Weiss Reservoir and the Sininger Lagoon. Genealogical interests are well-served by the inclusion of several local burial grounds, specifically the Fairmont Cem, Pleasant Ridge Cem, and the more isolated Horton Cem near the eastern boundary. Further north, McCool Junction sits near the headwaters of Galaway Cr, connected to the surrounding countryside by a rigorous network of section roads like Meridian Hwy.
