2017 Map of Gardner

About this map

Ridgeway anchors the northern boundary of this Harrison County landscape, where the terrain is defined by a dense network of creek drainages and small upland reservoirs. The local geography is etched by the meandering paths of Polecat Cr and Little Polecat Cr, which join with Sugar Cr and Trail Cr to form a complex watershed. These water sources supported a rural economy of farmsteads and small crossroads like Gardner. Cultural landmarks such as Yankee Ridge Cem provide points of interest for genealogists tracing local family histories. The landscape also features several named bodies of water including Jesse Hale Lake, Fordyce Lake, and Hallock Lake, which appear as distinct catchments amidst the agricultural grid and township lines of T64N and T63N.
