1992 Map of Fairmont

About this map

Fairmont's distinctive chain of lakes—including George Lake, Sisseton Lake, Budd Lake, and Hall Lake—dominates this Martin County landscape, showing the city's growth around these central water bodies. The 1990s revisions highlight urban developments such as the Fairmont Municipal Airport and Interchange 102, while maintaining the historical grid of the central business district and civic institutions like the Jr High Sch and High Sch. North of the city, the small settlement of Northrop sits along the Old Grade Railroad, surrounded by a meticulously ditched agricultural landscape defined by Judicial Ditch No 8 and Judicial Ditch No 48. The map documents numerous local landmarks of value to genealogists, from the Lakeside Cemetery on the lakefront to the Immanuel Cem and parochial institutions like St Paul Sch.
