About this map

Fairville and the northern outskirts of the city of Marshall define this 1970s landscape in Saline County. The area is characterized by a transition from the structured urban layout of the county seat to the agrarian terrain of northern townships like Miami. Heavy infrastructure is prominent, with the Gulf Mobile And Ohio railroad cutting through the territory and multiple communication sites such as the Radio Tower (KMMO).

Social and civic landmarks are scattered throughout, including the Mt Carmel Ch and the expansive grounds of the Marshall State School and Hospital. The drainage patterns of the Salt Fork and its tributaries, such as Wildcat Branch and Cow Creek, illustrate the natural irrigation of this fertile region. Local culture and leisure of the era are reflected in features like the Drive-in Theater and the elevated landmark of Montague Hill.
