2017 Map of Fairmount

About this map

Fairmount serves as the primary hub in this borderland survey, where the southeastern corner of North Dakota meets the Minnesota state line. The Bois de Sioux River defines the natural boundary between the two states, winding northward through a landscape heavily influenced by drainage engineering like Judicial Ditch Number Eleven-Ten. The map provides significant detail for genealogists, documenting the location of Fairmount Cem, Calvary Cem, and Pleasant Hill Cem spread across the township grids. Transportation and agriculture are the defining characteristics here, with the local Po in Fairmount and the Wetherbee Farm Airport marking the community's connection to the wider region. To the east, the small settlement of Childs sits near the Rabbit River, surrounded by the geometric precision of the Section lines that govern this fertile valley.
