2012 Map of Ardmore

About this map

Ardmore sits at the southern edge of this West River landscape, serving as a focal point for the surrounding cattle country along the South Dakota and Nebraska border. The terrain is defined by a dense network of intermittent drainages, including the serpentine Hat Cr and its various tributaries like Duck Cr and Long Br Cr. These waterways cut through the high plains, shaping the local geography around landmarks such as Hunter Hill. Local history and genealogy are anchored by the Duck Creek Cem, which stands north of the settlement. The map reveals a remote ranching infrastructure where water management is critical, evidenced by features like Wasserburger Pond. A system of county roads, such as Co HWY 7b and Co RD 5, connects the dispersed homesteads and grazing lands across this borderland region.
