2017 Map of Bloomfield

About this map

Hillside Colony and the small settlement of Ladelle anchor this section of the South Dakota prairie, where a network of section-line roads like 407th Ave and 185th St divide the agricultural landscape. The area is defined by its deep-rooted spiritual and communal sites, including the Hillside Colony Cemetery and the Emmanuel Mennonite Cemetery. Along the southern boundary, where the line between Spink and Beadle counties runs, the Prairie Bible Church Cemetery stands near the intersection of County Road 2. The terrain is etched by the winding path of Foster Creek, which snakes through the central and northwestern sections of the quadrangle. For genealogists and local researchers, the distribution of small cemeteries like Roe Cemetery and the Missionary Church Cemetery offers a clear view of the historic settlement patterns and family enclaves in this rural heartland.
