2015 Map of Fontanelle

About this map

Fontanelle sits at the center of this rural Adair County landscape, where the street grid of Main St and Jefferson St meets the agricultural expanse of south-central Iowa. The geography is defined by the winding course of the Middle Nodaway River and its tributary, Rutt Br, which carve gentle patterns through the surrounding township sections. Local heritage is grounded in three distinct burial sites: Prussia Cem to the north, Bryant Cem to the west, and Fontanelle Cem positioned just east of the town limits. The mapping of regional thoroughfares like Co Hwy G49 and Fontanelle Rd illustrates the modern infrastructure connecting these long-standing prairie communities and family farms during the mid-2010s.
