About this map

Flint Butte and Ashcroft Butte command the landscape of this corner of Harding County, serving as prominent landmarks in the high plains terrain. The drainage network is clearly defined by several seasonal waterways, including Big Nasty Cr and Coal Bank Cr, which carve through the shortgrass prairie. The map records the rural infrastructure of the late 2010s, showing a sparse but essential grid of roads such as Co Hwy 858 and Lincoln Rd that connect isolated ranching properties. These section-line roads and local paths like Lanesboro Rd reveal the enduring influence of the Public Land Survey System on modern navigation and land use in South Dakota.
