2018 Map of Fountain Green

About this map

Fountain Green serves as the central hub of this rural Illinois landscape, situated at the intersection of a grid-like network of county roads. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the La Moine River and its East Fork, which carve through the till plains to create distinct natural features like Rattlesnake Den Hollow. A high density of family and community burial grounds, including the Lincoln Catholic Cem and Mourning Cem, indicates a deeply rooted local history and long-standing agricultural settlement patterns. Smaller hamlets like Webster and Joetta are connected by routes such as Co HWY 8 and Co RD 50 E, reflecting the enduring rural infrastructure of Hancock and McDonough Counties. The map also highlights specific landmarks like Vishnu Springs, suggesting localized water sources that shaped the early development of this prairie region.
