About this map

Fairfield stands at the center of an intricate hydraulic landscape defined by the Greenfields Irrigation District. This survey documents the highly organized grid of the Teton County plains, where the Greenfields Main Canal and Mill Coulee Canal distribute water across the benchlands. The town itself serves as a vital hub, featuring the Fairfield Post Office and Fairfield Vol Fire Dept, while the Harvest Hills Golf Course provides a modern community landmark.

South of the irrigated flats, the terrain transitions into the breaks of the Sun River valley. Here, the natural topography asserts itself through features like Floweree Butte and the winding course of Duck Creek. Local history is anchored at the Sunset Hills Cemetery and along rural corridors such as Simms Fairfield Rd, which connects the agricultural plateau to the river bottomlands. This map captures the precise intersection of natural drainage and man-made waterways like the Big Coulee Canal that sustain the region's ranching and farming economy.
