About this map

The East Short Pine Hills rise dramatically in the southern portion of this Harding County landscape, providing a high-relief backdrop to a region defined by its complex drainage systems. Water management is central to the area's geography, evidenced by the presence of Matson Reservoir and Gilbert Number Two Reservoir. These water sources are vital in a terrain where the S Fork Grand River and the N Fork Moreau River carve through the plains, creating distinct geological features such as the escarpment known as The Jumpoff.

Transport is primarily limited to local routes like Mackey Rd, which traverses the central flats. The map details a rugged hydrologic network including Buffalo Cr, Bog Cr, and Faulkner Cr, alongside named topographic depressions such as Chalk Butte Draw and Sand Coulee. This survey captures the rural character of South Dakota's northwestern corner, where the land is primarily organized by section lines and natural watersheds rather than dense settlement.
