2020 Map of Fairmount

About this map

Fairmount serves as the focal point of this northern plains landscape where the borders of North Dakota and Minnesota meet. The map reveals a transition from the agricultural grid of Richland County toward the winding course of the Bois de Sioux River, which serves as the state boundary line. To the north, the Rabbit River meanders across the state line, while the southern reaches are marked by the Judicial Ditch Number Eleven-Ten, illustrating the intensive water management required for regional farming. Local history is anchored by several burial sites, including Fairmount Cem, Calvary Cem, and Pleasant Hill Cem, alongside the small settlement of Childs. The presence of the Wetherbee Farm Airport highlights the intersection of aviation and agriculture in this open prairie environment.
