About this map

Fairview and East Fairview straddle the border between Montana and North Dakota, marking a significant point of trans-border settlement along the Yellowstone River. The area’s agricultural development is clearly evidenced by an extensive irrigation network featuring the Main Canal and various laterals such as Lateral G and Lateral H, which draw from the river to support the surrounding plains. The landscape transitions from the developed streets of Fairview to the more open reaches of the Little Missouri National Grassland in the southeast.

Local history and genealogy researchers will find several small settlements and landmarks, including Ridgelawn, Ludington, and Wooley. Traditional burial sites like Pioneer Cem and Bethel Cem are preserved on the landscape, providing specific points of interest for family historians. The northern portion of the map is punctuated by the Fairview Airport and various drainage features such as Third Hay Cr and Second Hay Cr, which carve through the terrain north of the river valley.
