2017 Map of Fairview SW

About this map

Main Canal and Lateral G dominate the southern portion of this landscape, marking the infrastructure of the Lower Yellowstone irrigation project in Richland County. These engineered waterways cut across a terrain defined by natural drainage systems like First Hay Cr and Second Hay Cr. The map reveals a highly structured rural grid, where numerous county roads, such as Co RD 128 and Co RD 134, provide access to the vast agricultural sections of the eastern Montana plains. This 2017 survey reflects the persistent patterns of the Public Land Survey System, with township and range lines like t24n r59e organizing the homesteads and fields that have defined this region since the early twentieth century.
