2017 Map of Ralph

About this map

The small settlement of Ralph stands as a focal point in this portion of Harding County, situated at the junction of Ralph Rd and Lincoln Rd. This High Plains landscape is defined by its drainage systems and prominent landmarks, notably the Lodge Pole Buttes and the aptly named Mud Butte. Waterways such as Teeter Cr and the descriptively titled Big Nasty Creek thread through the township sections, illustrating the hydrologic character of this northern South Dakota region. For those researching local heritage or genealogy, the Ralph Lutheran Cem provides a tangible link to the community's history. The map also delineates a network of rural routes, including Co Hwy 858 and Vessey Loop, which connect the isolated homesteads and ranch lands that define the area's modern land use.
