2014 Map of Fairview NW

About this map

Antelope Butte rises as a prominent landmark in this section of the northern Great Plains, overlooking a landscape defined by an intricate network of intermittent coulees and creeks. The drainage patterns of Sheep Camp Coulee, Benson Coulee, and Otis Cr cut through the high plains of Richland County, illustrating the erosional character of this semi-arid region. Located in the northeastern corner of the map, Fourmile Cem stands as a quiet site of local history along the edge of the N Fork Fourmile Cr basin. The map details a strictly regulated grid of section lines and county roads, such as Co Road 143 and CR 350, which facilitate movement between the scattered ranching and agricultural operations of the early 21st century. The transition between Second Hay Cr and Third Hay Cr further south indicates the subtle variations in the local watershed that have dictated land use and settlement for generations.
