2021 Map of Cedar Grove Colony

About this map

Cedar Grove Colony anchors this rural landscape along the boundary of Brule and Aurora counties in the early 2020s. The region is defined by a strictly organized section-line road network, including Co Rd 60 and 266th St, which connects small agricultural hubs and homesteads. Local history and genealogy are preserved in several family and community burial grounds scattered across the plains, such as Bullis Wilbur Cem, Larson Cem, and Robey Cem. The natural geography is marked by significant water bodies like Freeland Lake in the northwest and Torrey Lake to the southwest, while Platte Cr meanders through the eastern sections. A notable concentration of community history is found at the Dunlap Church Cem, reflecting the deep-rooted spiritual and social infrastructure of this South Dakota prairie region.
