2010 Map of Fountain

About this map

Forestville and the expansive Forestville Mystery State Park define the southern landscape of this Fillmore County region. The terrain is deeply influenced by the winding path of the South Branch Root River and its tributaries, including Watson Creek and Forestville Creek. This area preserves several early settlement markers, notably the Forestville Bridge and a cluster of family and community burial grounds such as Pioneer Cemetery, Duff Cemetery, and Winslow Cemetery. In the northeast, the town of Fountain serves as a local hub near Rice Creek, while the central portion of the map is occupied by the Fillmore County Airport. The presence of several detention structures, such as the Erickson Detention Dam and Otto Meyer Dam, indicates a managed water system designed to control the drainage into the river valleys.
