2012 Map of Bon Homme Colony

About this map

Bon Homme Colony and its communal traditions define the northern shore of Lewis and Clark Lake in this 2012 survey. The landscape is characterized by a dense network of sectional roads and drainage creeks, including Charley Cr and Birdsell Cr, which feed into the Missouri River reservoir. Local heritage is preserved at sites like the Hutterische Church Colony Cem and the Holy Faith Cem near the southern settlement of Tewsville. The southern portion of the map shows a shift toward recreation and aviation, with Bloomfield Campground and Miller Creek Campground situated along the shoreline near the Grimm Farm Airport. This era reflects a balance between traditional agricultural colonies and the modern recreational usage of the dammed river valley.
