1973 Map of Redig

About this map

Redig stands as the primary settlement in this corner of Harding County, established as a focal point for the surrounding prairie homesteads and ranches. The landscape is defined by its drainage systems, notably the North Fork Moreau River and its various tributaries like Snake Creek and North Sand Creek. The presence of the Redig Sch and the Redig Cem illustrates a community centered on local education and long-term land ties. To the northwest, Saddle Butte rises as a distinct topographical landmark, while specialized features like Soft Water Draw and South Sand Creek suggest the importance of water management in this arid cattle-country environment. The survey captures a moment in the 1970s when the rural infrastructure remained anchored to these established family-based landmarks and remote post office locations.
