2016 Map of Fairmount

About this map

Fairmount and the southern outskirts of Marion anchor this 2016 landscape, which documents the rural and municipal layout of southern Grant County. The area is defined by a dense network of county roads and drainage systems, including Tappin Ditch, Dry Fork Ditch, and Winslow Ditch, which support the agricultural productivity of the region. The northeastern corner shows the concentrated development of Gas City and Jonesboro, separated from the more rural west by the Mississinewa River. Smaller established locales like Hackleman, Radley, and Weaver appear as clusters along the major thoroughfares. For genealogists and local historians, the map provides precise locations for Park Cem and the Marion Municipal Airport, while also detailing the transition from city grids to the expansive sections of the Public Land Survey System as one moves toward the Grant and Madison county line.
