1963 Map of Fairfield SE

About this map

The Green River and its South Fork carve a dendritic drainage pattern across this western North Dakota landscape on the border of Billings and Dunn counties. The map documents a rural cultural landscape defined by its ethnic heritage and dispersed settlement, visible through landmarks like the Ukrania School and St Demetrius Cemetery. These names reflect the specific settler history of the region in the early 1960s. Educational and spiritual life is anchored by several small country schools, including the Hecker, Barta, and Willmen schools, and the SS Peter and Paul Cemetery. The terrain is further marked by ephemeral waterways like Horse, Indian, and Spring creeks, which navigate the high prairie breaks. Aside from a single Gravel Pit, the area remains focused on agricultural land use, with numerous field and fence lines meticulously noted across the sections.
