About this map

Fairview Colony stands out as a focal point in this 2014 agricultural landscape along the border of LaMoure Co and Dickey Co. The terrain is defined by a dense network of sectional roads, including 92nd Ave SE and 78th St SE, which carve the prairie into a precise grid for farming. Hydrological features like Cottonwood Lake and the winding Cottonwood Cr provide natural relief to the structured land divisions, indicating the drainage patterns essential to the region's wheat and corn production.

Local infrastructure is represented by the small-scale aviation of Larson Airport in the southeastern portion of the map. The landscape reflects the modern era of North Dakota prairie life, where large-scale communal living at Fairview Colony exists alongside traditional family farmstead grids. This survey by the U.S. Geological Survey details the continued importance of the sectional road system in maintaining the rural economy of Porter Township.
