About this map

Fountain Hill sits at the junction of several regional routes in this part of Ashley County, serving as a primary point of settlement within a landscape of winding creeks and rising hills. The terrain is defined by the drainage of Fountain Cr and Flat Cr, which flow through the northern reaches of the quadrangle. To the east, the Fountain Prairie area provides a distinct contrast to the more wooded elevations like Norris Hill.

Genealogists and local historians will find several burial grounds documented throughout the township, including Kirkpatrick Cem, Flat Creek Cem, and Norris Hill Cem near the small community of Roark. To the south, Judson Cem and Spring Hill Cem are located among a network of secondary roads such as Boxy Mann Rd and Ashley 491 Rd. The hydrology of the area is further marked by the presence of Shiloh Lake and the meandering path of Chemin-A-Haut Cr.
