2022 Map of Fountain

About this map

Fountain stands as the primary settlement in this portion of Fillmore County, positioned near the junction of several regional routes and the Root River State Trail. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the S Br Root River and its numerous tributaries, including Watson Cr and Sugar Cr, which carve through the terrain to create distinctive features like Sugar Camp Hollow. This area maintains a strong connection to its pioneer roots, evidenced by the numerous burial sites scattered across the townships, such as Winslow Cem, Watson Cem, and Pioneer Cem. The presence of the Fillmore County Airport near the center of the quadrangle indicates the intersection of traditional rural land use with modern transportation infrastructure. South of the main settlement, the smaller community of Carimona sits along the river, accompanied by the Carimona Cem, reflecting the early nodes of development in this river valley region.
