2015 Map of Gustave

About this map

Gustave serves as the quiet focal point of this Harding County landscape, where the high plains of South Dakota meet the distinct elevations of the West Short Pine Hills. The topography is defined by the drainages of the S Fork Moreau River, Forty-eight Mile Cr, and Bickerdike Cr, which carve through the open range. Local history is anchored at the Gustave Cem, while the rugged northern heights are marked by Harding Peak and Sawmill Gulch. This modern survey by the U.S. Geological Survey illustrates a ranching-and-river landscape where traditional land divisions like t16n r1e and roads like Collins Rd still dictate the rhythm of the terrain near Sheep Draw and Split Rock Spring.
