1993 Map of Moreau Peak

About this map

The East Short Pine Hills define this corner of Harding County, where the high-altitude terrain of the Custer National Forest rises abruptly from the plains. Centered on the landmark Moreau Peak, the landscape is deeply etched by a network of drainages including Ward Gulch and Adams Gulch, which feed into the Ash Coulee and Sand Creek systems below. This topography offered critical shelter and water in an otherwise arid environment, marked here by numerous numbered springs like Spring No 1 and Spring No 4.
