2014 Map of Fairview

About this map

The Yellowstone River cuts a wide path through this borderland landscape, defining the geography where Montana and North Dakota meet. The twin settlements of Fairview and East Fairview serve as the primary hubs, straddling the state line near the Fairview Airport. The region's agricultural character is evident in the intricate network of irrigation channels, including the Main Canal and various laterals such as Lateral N and Lateral G that feed the plains surrounding the river valley. To the east, the terrain transitions into the protected acreage of the Little Missouri National Grassland. Genealogists and local historians can locate several smaller named locales and historical points of interest, including Ridgelawn, Ludington, and Harding, along with the Pioneer Cem and Bethel Cem, which mark the resting places of early area residents.
