About this map

Clarks Fork Creek and Goose Creek thread through this expansive stretch of the High Plains in Harding County, South Dakota. Mapping conducted in the late 1970s reveals a landscape defined by ranching and resource extraction, with features like a Drill Hole, a Well, and a Radio Tower punctuating the open terrain. The transportation network is sparse, centered on the J B Road, which serves as a primary artery across the sections of T 17 N and T 18 N. Small natural landmarks like the Bowl and a seasonal Spring suggest the importance of topography and water access in this semi-arid region. The map provides a precise record of section lines and township boundaries, essential for tracing land ownership and historical grazing tracts near West Squaw Creek and Duck Creek.
