2012 Map of Fountain Green

About this map

Fountain Green sits at the center of a dense agricultural grid in Hancock County, surrounded by a remarkable number of family and community burial grounds. These sites, including the Lincoln Catholic Cem, Majorville Cem, and Mourning Cem, serve as physical anchors for the area's genealogical history. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of the La Moine River and its E Fork La Moine River, which cut through the southern portion of the quadrangle. In the southeast, the terrain becomes more varied around Rattlesnake Den Hollow and Vishnu Springs, offering a contrast to the flat upland prairies. Small hubs like Joetta and the La Moine Camp highlight the long-standing rural community structure of western Illinois in the early 21st century.
