2017 Map of Fairpoint

About this map

Fairpoint anchors this western South Dakota landscape, serving as a primary point of reference in a region defined by expansive prairie and drainage systems. The small community is situated at the junction of Co Hwy Mc 23 and W Fairpoint Rd, where local life is centered around the Fairpoint Cem. The topography is marked by the winding path of Coyote Cr, which meanders across the central and southern sections of the quadrangle. Sparse road networks like Atall Rd and Minnehaha Pl indicate the remote, rural nature of Meade County during this period. The survey provides a clear view of the Public Land Survey System divisions, including t9n r11e and t8n r11e, illustrating how the land was partitioned for ranching and settlement.
