About this map

The town of Fountain sits at the intersection of MN-80 and Us-52 in the northern portion of this Fillmore County landscape. The terrain is defined by a dense network of winding creeks and river branches, most notably the S Br Root River which flows through the southern half of the quadrangle. This area serves as a significant intersection of rural community life and conservation, containing both the Fillmore County Airport and a portion of Forestville Mystery State Park.

For local historians and genealogists, the map identifies several distinct burial grounds including Winslow Cem, Watson Cem, Carimona Cem, Pioneer Cem, and Duff Cem. These sites, along with the small settlements of Carimona and Forestville, offer a detailed look at the distribution of early townships and family lands. The presence of the Forestville Bridge and numerous township highways illustrates the established local transport network connecting these interior agricultural and wooded regions.
