2012 Map of Cedar Grove Colony

About this map

Cedar Grove Colony sits at the heart of this rural Brule County landscape, where the agricultural grid of the Dakotas is defined by a rigorous network of section roads like 368th Ave and 263rd St. The terrain is shaped by the meandering course of Platte Cr, which cuts through the eastern reaches of the quadrangle. For genealogists and local historians, the map is a vital record of the area's pioneer and community roots, preserving the locations of three distinct burial sites: Bullis Cem in the northwest, Larson Cem near the center, and Trinity Cem in the northeast corner. These small cemeteries, scattered across the township, serve as the primary landmarks in an otherwise open, prairie-dominated landscape dedicated to large-scale farming.
