1972 Map of Fairview
USGS Topo · Published 1975About this map
Fairview and East Fairview straddle the border of Montana and North Dakota, serving as a dual-state hub in the Yellowstone Valley during the early 1970s. The landscape is defined by the sweeping curves of the Yellowstone River and a complex network of irrigation canals and laterals that support the region's agriculture. The Burlington Northern railroad cuts a diagonal path through the valley, connecting outlying points like Ludington and Ridgelawn to the central settlements. Evidence of early local history is found in several rural burial grounds, including Pioneer Cem north of town and Bethel Cem to the south. The area’s development is further marked by the presence of a Landing Strip and the Radio Towers (KGCX), reflecting the infrastructure of a mid-century river community. Small rural institutions such as Estes Sch near the riverbank highlight the dispersed nature of the original homestead settlements.
