2019 Map of Fountaintown

About this map

Brandywine Creek meanders through the eastern portions of this landscape, carving a natural path through the agricultural grid of Shelby and Hancock Counties. The settlement at Fountaintown serves as a local hub near the boundary line, while further north, the distinct communities of Reedville Station and Carrollton remain oriented along the traditional road and rail corridors. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of drainage ditches, such as Ashcraft Ditch and Sexton Ditch, which underscore the region's managed agricultural history. Family roots and early settlement patterns are well-documented through numerous burial grounds scattered across the townships, including Fairview Cem, Concord Cem, and Fisher Cem. These landmarks, along with features like the Farm Strip, illustrate a persistent rural character that has remained remarkably consistent even as the surrounding region has developed.
