1959 Map of Fairpoint

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

Fairpoint anchors this high-plains landscape in Meade County during the late 1950s, serving as a focal point for a remote ranching and farming community. The topography is defined by the winding drainages of Soft Water Creek in the north and the deeply etched path of Coyote Creek through the central and southern reaches. Small-scale institutional landmarks such as the Atall Sch and the Fairpoint Cem reflect the sparse but deliberate settlement pattern typical of the South Dakota prairie during this era. A local Gravel Pit suggests the ongoing maintenance of the unimproved dirt road network that connects these isolated homesteads and schools across the undulating terrain.
