About this map

Old Grand River Cem sits near the northern boundary of this Harding County landscape, a vital point of interest for genealogists tracing early families in the northwestern South Dakota plains. The terrain is defined by an intricate network of drainage systems, most notably the meandering S Fork Grand River which carves through the central portion of the sheet. This river is fed by numerous tributaries including Clarks Fork Cr, Sheep Cr, and Boxelder Cr, illustrating the hydrological patterns of the western Great Plains. Transportation in this section of the county is minimal, primarily represented by Lyons Rd, highlighting the enduring isolation and agricultural character of the region. The map provides a precise look at the township and range divisions, such as t19n r5e and t18n r6e, which governed land settlement in this cattle and sheep ranching country.
