2024 Map of Fairfield

About this map

Fairfield stands as a central agricultural hub atop the Greenfields Bench, where a grid of rural roads and irrigation works defines the high plains landscape. The Greenfields Main Canal and Hamilton Canal demonstrate the intensive water management required to sustain this region, carving paths through the terrain to support local farms. South of the bench, the land drops toward the Sun River valley, passing the prominent landmark of Floweree Butte and the drainage of Big Coulee. This transition from the flat, irrigated plateaus of the north to the meandering river bottom near Simms highlights the geographic contrast between the managed benchlands and the natural riparian system. Local history is anchored by sites like Sunset Hills Cemetery and the many named coulees, including Blackfoot Coulee and Anderson Coulee, which provide vital drainage for the surrounding cattle country and wheat fields.
