About this map

The N Fork Moreau River meanders through this portion of Harding County, carving a complex drainage network across the High Plains landscape. The river is joined by numerous seasonal tributaries, including Wolf Cr, Goose Cr, and the uniquely named Giannonatti Cr, illustrating the vital role of water management in this arid ranching region. Notable topographical landmarks such as Saddle Butte and the elongated depression of Swallow Draw provide essential orientation in an otherwise uniform terrain.

Transport through this territory relies on a sparse grid of rural routes like Limpert Rd and Redig Rd, which connect isolated homesteads and grazing lands. The map details the Public Land Survey System divisions, including t16n r7e and t15n r6e, which define the structural layout of the county's large-scale agricultural operations. South of the river, Cowboy Cr and Granger Cr further define the local hydrology of this expansive Western landscape.
