About this map

Fairmount Community Hall stands as a central landmark in this corner of Benton County, where the high ground of Lindsley Prairie meets the winding drainages of the Illinois River. The 2011 landscape is defined by a dense network of rural routes like Shinn Springs Rd and Martin Pedro Rd, connecting established communities at Fairmount, Logan, and Pedro.

Genealogists can trace local legacies through numerous burial grounds, including Flint Creek Cemetery and Lone Elm Cemetery, while physical history remains visible at the Fisher Ford Bridge. The terrain transitions from the open prairie into the more complex topography of Martin Valley and Gum Springs Hollow, showcasing how the regional geography influenced the placement of early settlements and aviation at Smith Field.
