2022 Map of Fenton

About this map

Fenton and Fairville anchor this agricultural landscape on the border of Palo Alto and Kossuth counties. The terrain is defined by a dense grid of section roads and the natural meandering of Black Cat Creek and Lotts Creek, illustrating the classic Midwestern township system. For genealogists and local historians, several landmarks offer points of reference, including Saint Johns Cemetery north of Fenton and the United Methodist Cemetery to the south. Further south near Fairville, Saint Lukes Cemetery provides additional historical documentation for family researchers. The map also traces the drainage patterns of the region, including Cylinder Creek and the engineered water management of Ditch Number 1, which reflect the area's long-standing adaptation for large-scale cultivation.
