2013 Map of Fontanelle

About this map

Fontanelle serves as the central hub for this portion of Adair County, defined by its traditional grid centered on Main St and Summerset St. The surrounding landscape is characterized by a high-density rural road network, where thoroughfares like Fontanelle Rd and Gibbon Ave intersect to support the agricultural production of the region. This 2013 survey illustrates the enduring township structure in southern Iowa, anchored by the smaller settlement of Prussia to the northeast. Waterways such as the Middle Nodaway River and Rutt Br wind through the sectioned fields, creating the natural drainage patterns that have historically dictated the placement of homesteads and farm infrastructure throughout the quadrangle.
