2014 Map of Fair Haven Colony

About this map

Fair Haven Colony serves as a focal point for this section of Montana's landscape, which is defined by its distinct high-plains topography and drainage systems. Significant landmarks like the prominent Square Butte and the long ridge of the Rocky Reef characterize the western and southern reaches of the map. These natural features, combined with the Rocky Reef Reservoir, illustrate the water management essential for agriculture in this region. The map details a network of rural routes, including Goetz Rd, Leistiko Rd, and Muddy Creek Rd, which connect scattered homesteads and facilitate the movement of livestock and crops across the drainage basins of Little Muddy Cr, Adobe Cr, and Dry Fork. This 2014 survey documents the contemporary rural infrastructure of Cascade County, showing how modern land use continues to follow the contours of the terrain.
