About this map

The Yellowstone River cuts a wide, braided path across this borderland landscape, where the communities of Fairview and East Fairview straddle the boundary between Montana and North Dakota. This 2011 survey captures a highly organized agricultural grid defined by numerous irrigation canals, including Lateral N, Lateral M, and Lateral K, which draw from the river to support the surrounding plains.

Genealogists will find several family-named landmarks and historical sites, such as the Pioneer Cemetery and Bethel Cemetery. The map also identifies smaller rural nodes like Ridgelawn, Harding, and Wooley, alongside the M Flynn Ranch and H Pederson Ranch. The infrastructure of the town proper is well-documented, showing the Fairview Post Office and Fairview Vol Fire Dept near the northern bend of the river, where several creeks—First Hay Creek, Second Hay Creek, and Third Hay Creek—converge from the west.
