2017 Map of Pine Spring

About this map

Jumpoff Divide forms a prominent topographic spine through this section of Harding County, separating the drainages of the northern plains. The landscape is defined by its water sources, including Buffalo Springs and the Cundy Reservoir, which provided critical focal points for ranching and land use in this arid region of South Dakota. The drainage patterns are clearly delineated by Antelope Cr to the north and Pine Spring Cr to the east, while The Jumpoff marks a significant break in the local elevation. A sparse network of roads, including Bullock Rd and Harding Rd, connects these remote land sections, illustrating the expansive nature of the High Plains interior. This survey captures the essential hydrologic and geographic markers used by generations to navigate the open range between Pine Draw and Valley Cr.
