2012 Map of Glendale Colony

About this map

The James River dictates the landscape of this Spink County territory, winding southward through a network of section-line roads and prairie acreage. Glendale Colony sits at the heart of this agricultural region, established near the river banks where Timber Cr joins the main flow from the east. The map records essential local landmarks for family history researchers, including Trinity Cem in the northern reaches and Guttenberg Cem situated near the river's bend. A strictly organized grid of thoroughfares like Co Hwy-11 and 174th St provides access to the surrounding farmsteads, illustrating the enduring township-and-range settlement pattern that has defined South Dakota's rural character since the late 19th century.
