1960 Map of Fairmount
USGS Topo · Published 1994About this map
Fairmount and Jonesboro anchor this 1960 survey of southern Grant County, showcasing a landscape defined by an orderly grid of country roads and the winding path of Back Creek. The area’s spiritual and educational foundations are visible in the numerous rural institutions scattered across the townships, such as Little Ridge Ch, Hill Chapel, and the Liberty Township Sch. Local transport was dominated by the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad line, which bisects the agricultural heartland. A notable concentration of municipal infrastructure appears near the northern edge, where the Marion Municipal Airport sits along the Old Kokomo Road. This document provides a unique record of the transition between small-town residential centers and the surrounding farmland, capturing the exact locations of family landmarks like Oak Ridge Cem and the settlement at Radley.
