About this map

Fairview Ch and the Fairfield Community Hall serve as the primary social anchors for this agricultural landscape along the northern edge of Phillips County. Surveyed in the early 1960s, the terrain is defined by the ephemeral drainage of Wildhorse Creek, which winds eastward toward the Nebraska border. The map illustrates a high-plains environment where water management is vital, noted by various irrigation points and a Well near the eastern margin.

Rural infrastructure is precisely documented, including the Paoli Cem in the southwestern quadrant and the small settlement area of Mar Dilly. In the far south, the North Fk Frenchman Creek cuts across the plains, while the boundary with Sedgwick County marks the northern limit of this survey. This map captures the region's mid-century rural character, dominated by a grid of unimproved roads connecting isolated farmsteads and local landmarks like the Gravel Pit.
