2012 Map of Fairpoint

About this map

Fairpoint is a small unincorporated community in northern Meade County, characterized by its isolation on the expansive South Dakota plains. The settlement centers around the intersection of Fairpoint Rd and Old Stoneville Rd, with the Fairpoint Cem situated just to the northeast of the main cluster of buildings. The landscape is defined by the winding drainage of Coyote Cr, which meanders through the central and southern portions of the quadrangle, carving a low-relief path through the grasslands. The road network, including Red Owl Rd and Co Hwy Mc-22, reflects the essential transport corridors for the ranching and agricultural operations that sustain this part of the state. This 2012 survey documents the persistent, sparsely populated character of the region, where family-named roads like Minnehaha Pl and section-line tracks provide the only interruptions to the open range.
