Fairfax sits at the heart of this Atchison County landscape, serving as a hub for the surrounding agricultural community. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Tarkio River and smaller tributaries like Turkey Creek and Mill Creek, which have carved out distinct topographical features such as Angel Hollow and the basin containing Happy Hollow Lake. The settlement pattern follows the local drainage and high ground, with smaller hamlets like Milton and Corning established near the border of Atchison and Holt counties.
