1993 Map of Harding

About this map

Harding occupies a prominent position in this northwestern South Dakota landscape, situated just north of the dramatic rising slopes of the West Short Pine Hills. The map details a cattle-country environment where ephemeral watercourses like Dodge Draw, Waterhole Creek, and Sand Coulee carve through the plains. To the north, the terrain drops away at the escarpment known as The Jump Off, leading toward the drainage of the Grand River. Evidence of local community life is preserved through labels for the Brant School and the Short Pine Cem, while the local transportation network is anchored by Hett-Gilbert Road and Mackey Road. This 1993 revision, based on earlier aerial photography, provides a clear view of the rural infrastructure, including a Landing Strip and a Gravel Pit, typical of the area's late-twentieth-century land use.
