2015 Map of Columbia NE

About this map

The settlement of Columbia anchors this South Dakota landscape, situated at a bend where the James River snakes through the prairie. This 2015 survey reveals a terrain defined by both natural hydrology and managed water systems, most notably the expansive Columbia Road Reservoir. The map illustrates a methodical section-line road network, including Roetelle Rd, interspersed with dedicated recreational pathways such as the Prairie Winds Trail and the Sand Lake Display Pool EE Trail. The inclusion of the Auto Tour Rte suggests the area's importance for local wildlife observation and conservation efforts within the river valley. The James River itself is shown with intricate oxbows and marshy margins, highlighting the seasonal flux of this northern plains waterway.
