My previous message may have been in error or reflected local lore. I called up a map in Microsoft's Streets Plus which shows road names in the area of Fairton. What I referred to as the Sea Breeze Road shows beginning as Back Neck Road out of Fairton. Seabreeze Road forks off Back Neck Road about four miles west of Fairton. The Back Neck Road continues another three miles or so west and south before ending. The other road out of Fairton is the Rockville Road. It proceeds west and south out of Fairton off Cedarville Road and meets Flat Top Road almost three miles from Fairton. My uncles lived a mile or less south of this intersection. Husted Landing (sic) Road extends south and west from flat Top Road. Husted's Landing was my cousin's boat livery which I believe is now run by his son Kenneth Laning Husted, Jr. if Lanny hasn't retired. I always heard of this area as Rockville. My memory of the area as also Back Neck may well be wrong. Flat Top Road also intersects the Back Neck Road. As best I can recall, the Herring Roe School that my father attended as a child was located at this intersection. I remember seeing the school. It could still be there. If anyone wants a copy of the Streets Plus map, let me know. Corrections to my memory are most welcome. Wil Husted Billings, MT.
