2015 Map of Moreau Peak

About this map

East Short Pine Hills dominates the northern portion of this landscape, characterized by the high prominence of Moreau Peak and Lone Mtn. Located within the Custer National Forest in Harding County, the area is defined by a series of drainage systems including Sand Cr, its northern and southern branches, and Spur Cr. The terrain is etched with numerous named features such as Coal Gulch, Ward Gulch, and Adams Gulch, which suggest the topographical complexity of this corner of South Dakota. Human activity is marked by rural infrastructure like Dunn Rd and Dillon Rd, alongside the Leger Dam and the low-lying Ash Coulee to the south. This survey captures a remote ranching and forest landscape where the land's contours and seasonal watercourses dictate the placement of roads and resource management boundaries.
