About this map

The town of Fontanelle serves as the central hub for this portion of Adair County, defined by a rigid grid of rural avenues and streets that intersect the landscape. The Fontanelle Post Office and local municipal layout are visible at the intersection of Fontanelle Rd and State Route 92. The surrounding agricultural land is drained by several waterways, most notably the Middle Nodaway River in the southeast and the winding path of Rutt Branch, which moves diagonally across the northwestern sections.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the distribution of community landmarks, including the Prussia Cemetery, Fontanelle Cemetery, and Bryant Cemetery. The small settlement of Prussia and the Prussia Centre landmark in the northeast corner of the sheet reflect the area's early social and religious organization. This survey provides a clear view of the county's infrastructure, from major corridors like Jordan Ave and Kent Ave to the smaller, numbered section-line roads.
