2021 Map of Hells Canyon

About this map

West Short Pine Hills dominates the northwestern corner of this territory, where the complex drainage of Hells Canyon gives way to the broader plateau of Harding County. The landscape is defined by its seasonal water systems, most notably the S Fork Moreau River winding through the southern sections and the northern reach of Valley Cr. Agricultural and ranching infrastructure is evident at the Leger Dam near the eastern boundary, which captures runoff from the surrounding drainages. A grid of rural routes, including Harding Rd and Collins Rd, provides the primary access through this high plains environment, tracing the section lines between established townships like T16N R2E and T15N R3E. The map documents a sparsely settled region where the natural topography and the intermittent flow of Cady Cr dictate the layout of roads and range improvements.
