About this map

The Battle of Slim Buttes marker stands as a central historical point in this portion of Harding County, denoting a significant 1876 engagement between the U.S. Army and the Lakota. The settlement of Reva serves as the local hub, supported by the Reva Sch and nearby spiritual centers like Slim Buttes Ch and Our Lady of the Prairie Ch. The landscape is a complex network of ranching and water management, illustrated by the Besler Ranch and G Lermeney Ranch situated near reliable water sources like McPherson Spring and Bar H Spring.

Drainage patterns define the topography, with Fisher Creek and McPherson Creek carving through the terrain near the First Guide Meridian East. The presence of several named wells and springs across the Grandview area highlights the necessity of water access for high-plains agriculture and livestock. This 2005 revision provides a late-twentieth-century look at the road network, including the Hoover Road and Sorum Rd, alongside the enduring paths of Winter Draw and Crooked Creek.
