1983 Map of Fair Haven Colony

About this map

The Fair Haven Colony serves as a primary point of human settlement on this High Plains landscape, situated east of the Old Fort Shaw Military Reservation Boundary. The terrain is defined by prominent topographical rises and drainage patterns, including the plateau of Square Butte to the west and Taft Hill to the northeast. A network of ephemeral and perennial watercourses like Fourmile Creek and the Dry Fork carve through the plains, while the Little Muddy Creek winds through the southern Muddy Flats. Evidence of local infrastructure and resource extraction is visible through the presence of a Landing Strip, a Gravel Pit, and various water tanks. The Principal Meridian runs vertically through the center of the quadrangle, anchoring the grid of this rural Montana landscape.
