About this map

The town of Fairfield serves as the focal point of this 1980s landscape, positioned atop the Greenfields Bench and supported by a complex irrigation network including the Greenfields Main Canal and Hamilton Canal. The mapping reveals a distinct agricultural and industrial structure, evidenced by Storage Bins and a network of canals that feed the surrounding benches. In the southern reaches, the Sun River meanders through a valley marked by an Old Railroad Grade and Anderson Coulee, showing the transition from the high flatlands to the river bottom.

Historical boundaries are clearly defined here, specifically the Old Fort Shaw Military Reservation Boundary which cuts across the central terrain. For those tracing local history, the Burlington Northern line and Sunset Hills Cem provide specific points of interest. The landscape is further carved by numerous drainages such as Big Duck Creek and Blackfoot Coulee, illustrating the natural topography that dictated early settlement and transit patterns in Teton County.
