About this map

Harcourt serves as the primary hub of this agricultural landscape in Webster County, where a strict section-line road grid organizes the fertile prairie. The town layout is defined by streets like W 4th St and S Ash St, situated just north of Lost Grove Cr. The surrounding countryside is dotted with small unincorporated settlements such as Palm Grove and Lundgren, which reflect the localized grain-and-rail economy of the region.

Water management is central to the land use here, visible in the engineered pathways of Drainage Ditch Number 29 and Ditch Number 48. These systems, alongside natural waterways like E Buttrick Cr and Crooked Cr, facilitate the intensive farming that defines the area. For those tracing family history in the township, the Lost Grove Cem stands as a significant landmark of the early farming community.
