About this map

Pine Spring and its eponymous creek anchor this 2015 survey of the Harding County rangeland, where a network of ephemeral watercourses and scattered springs defines the high plains landscape. The terrain is marked by distinctive geological features like The Jumpoff and the Jumpoff Divide, which create a sharp break in the elevation and drainage patterns of the region. These landforms separate the north-flowing waters of Antelope Cr and Buffalo Springs Cr from the southern draws.

Modern infrastructure is represented by routes such as SD-20 and Gilbert Rd, providing access to this sparsely populated cattle country. The presence of Cundy Reservoir and Buffalo Springs illustrates the critical role of water management in this arid environment. This map captures the township and range divisions of T19N and T18N, providing a precise spatial record of property boundaries and natural landmarks used by local ranchers and historians.
