2024 Map of Fountain Green

About this map

Fountain Green and the surrounding agricultural townships of eastern Hancock County are defined by a network of historic family cemeteries and the winding course of the East Fork La Moine River. This landscape reveals a settlement pattern dictated by the local drainage, where small communities like Joetta and Webster grew alongside tributaries such as Cedar Creek and Fisher Creek. The high concentration of burial grounds, including the Lincoln Catholic Cem and Majorville Cem, provides significant genealogical touchpoints for tracing the 19th-century families who established these rural prairie outposts. Further south, the terrain becomes more varied as the La Moine River cuts through the region, creating the distinct topography of Rattlesnake Den Hollow near the Hills Grove Cem, contrasting with the orderly grid of farm roads and county routes that crisscross the northern uplands.
