About this map

Fairview anchors this high-plateau landscape in Douglas County, characterized by a structured grid of rural roads and scattered natural landmarks. The terrain is defined by several prominent elevations, including the Piersol Hills, Hook Hills, and Wheeler Hills, while the notable Yeager Rock stands as a distinct landmark in the central portion of the quadrangle. Drainage for the region is provided by Middle Foster Creek in the northwest corner, with smaller water features like Rummel Lake and Badger Wells appearing as critical water sources in an otherwise dry environment.

The human imprint on this land is seen through an extensive network of named local roads, such as Slaughter Rd NE, Pugh Rd NE, and Blake Rd NE. These routes suggest a history of agricultural or ranching land divisions. This survey captures the area at a time of established rural infrastructure, providing a clear view of how topographic features influenced the placement of roads like Fairview Rd NE and Community Rd NE.
