2013 Map of Fairmount

About this map

Fairmount serves as the primary hub of this East Central Indiana landscape, exhibiting a dense residential grid situated amidst a complex network of agricultural drainage. The area's aviation infrastructure is represented by the Marion Municipal Airport in the north and the smaller Peacock Farms Airport to the east. Small unincorporated communities like Weaver, Radley, and Hackleman are scattered across the terrain, connected by an exacting grid of county roads such as W 600 S and Co RD-100. This 2013 survey illustrates the extensive human modification of the local hydrology required for farming, featuring named water management systems like Stuckey Ditch, Jones Clark Ditch, and Winslow Ditch. The natural flow of Deer Cr and Little Deer Cr winds through these fields, while Glendale Lake provides a rare open water body in a region otherwise defined by straight-line ditches and tributary creeks like Back Cr and Little Cr.
