About this map

Fairview serves as the focal point of this 1969 survey, situated at the junction of the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad and the local road network. The town's grid is well-defined, featuring the Courthouse, a High School, and the Chamberlain Sch nearby. To the north, the settlement of Orienta sits near the winding course of the Cimarron River, where the landscape transitions into the distinctive terrain of the Glass Mountains and the Quinlan hills.

Evidence of the region's agricultural and industrial life is scattered across the township, from the Fairview Airport and Fairview Reservoir to numerous Gas Wells and Oil Wells. Local history and genealogy are anchored by several community landmarks, including the Saron Cem and Saron Ch in the northwest, and Rusk Cem to the east. An Old Railroad Grade follows the river valley, marking a shift in the local transportation infrastructure of Major County.
