1960 Map of Fairmount

About this map

The town of Fairmount and the southern edge of Jonesboro anchor this 1960 landscape, where the grid of Grant County meets the Madison County line. A significant historical landmark, the Old Treaty Indian Boundary, cuts diagonally across the township, marking an early nineteenth-century demarcation that still influences the alignment of local property lines and roads like Tappin Ditch. The area's agrarian roots are visible in the numerous country churches and schools that dot the section corners, including Hill Chapel, Bethel Ch, and Little Ridge Ch.
