2015 Map of Fountain Green

About this map

Fountain Green and the surrounding agricultural townships are defined by a high density of rural burial sites, highlighting the deep genealogical roots of this Hancock County region. Small settlements like Webster and Joetta dot the landscape, which is drained by a complex network of waterways including Rock Cr, Fisher Cr, and the East Fork La Moine River. A notable point of interest is Vishnu Springs, a location tucked away near the eastern border with McDonough County, suggesting a history of local water resources or gathering places. The terrain is marked by distinct natural features like Rattlesnake Den Hollow, while the river bottoms of the La Moine River and Middle Cr contrast with the organized grid of county roads. Numerous family-named and denominational cemeteries, such as Lincoln Catholic Cem and Majorville Cem, provide valuable landmarks for tracing 19th and 20th-century settlement patterns.
