2012 Map of Redig NE

About this map

The N Fork Moreau River system defines this corner of Harding County, South Dakota, as it appeared in the early 21st century. The landscape is marked by the dendritic patterns of high-plains watercourses, including Clarks Fork Cr and Buffalo Cr. These drainage networks have long dictated the movement of livestock and the placement of transportation routes in this open ranching country. Local infrastructure is represented by rural thoroughfares such as Mackey Rd and J B Rd, which provide access through the vast grazing lands between the river and eastern drainages like S Br Duck Cr and Duck Cr. This 2012 survey illustrates the sparse but critical network of roads and waterways that support the agricultural economy of the northern Great Plains.
