2010 Map of Farmington

About this map

Farmington anchors the southwestern corner of this survey, situated along the north bank of the Des Moines River. This early 21st-century landscape is defined by a dense network of family cemeteries and small rural clusters like Sharon and Primrose. The agricultural grid is intersected by several waterways, including Sugar Creek and Little Sugar Creek, which flow toward the river valley. The southern edge of the quadrangle shows significant public land and recreation areas, such as the Riverview Campground and portions of the Shimek Forest, including Shimek Forest Pond Two and Shimek Forest Dam Three. Genealogists will find a wealth of specific burial sites throughout the townships, from the Kennedy Farm Cemetery in the north to the Green Glade Cemetery near the river, reflecting generations of rural settlement in Van Buren County.
