2021 Map of Ralph

About this map

Lodge Pole Buttes rise above the high plains of Harding County, anchoring a landscape defined by expansive ranching reaches and remote drainage networks. The small community of Ralph serves as the local hub, situated near the intersection of Ralph Rd and Co Hwy 734. For those researching regional family history, the Ralph Lutheran Cem provides a specific point of reference just south of the settlement. The area is characterized by seasonal watercourses like Big Nasty Creek, Teeter Cr, and Horse Cr, which wind through the township and range divisions. Modern infrastructure is represented by a grid of named roads such as Vessey Loop and Carlson Rd, while the presence of Mud Butte in the northeast highlights the distinct geological character of the South Dakota prairie.
