2016 Map of Fountain

About this map

The S Br Root River and its numerous tributaries, including Watson Cr and Sugar Cr, carve through the rolling agricultural landscape of Fillmore County in this 2016 survey. The settlement of Fountain stands in the northeast, while the smaller hamlets of Carimona and Forestville are positioned further south along the river valleys. This map is particularly valuable for genealogical research, as it documents several historical burial grounds such as Winslow Cem, Watson Cem, and the Pioneer Cem. The presence of the Fillmore County Airport and a grid of rural roads like Mulligan Rd and Co Hwy 11 reflects the modern infrastructure supporting the region's farming economy. From the banks of Forestville Cr to the heights near Curtis Cr, the map illustrates a landscape defined by its waterways and small, enduring rural centers.
