About this map

Ladner and the nearby Mud Butte settle the high plains of Harding County, where the topography is defined by the drainages of N Bull Cr and S Bull Cr. This landscape is marked by the distinct elevations of Mount McKinley to the north and the striking White Butte and Pointed Butte to the south. The area's water sources, including Finlander Spring and Reed Spring, serve as vital landmarks in an arid environment otherwise dominated by intermittent creeks like Cottonwood Cr and Smith Cr.

Industrial activity is evident near the eastern edge of the quadrangle at the Buffalo Oil Field, illustrating the region's reliance on natural resource extraction. The road network, primarily consisting of Co HWY-733 and Co HWY-797, connects these remote settlements and topographic draws such as Cooper Draw and Gallager Draw, providing a clear record of rural infrastructure in the early 21st century.
