1956 Map of Glendale Colony
USGS Topo · Published 1957About this map
Glendale Colony is situated along a prominent bend of the James River in this mid-century survey of Spink County. The landscape is defined by the winding river valley and its tributary, Turtle Creek, which cuts through the eastern townships. This era of South Dakota agriculture is reflected in the dense network of rural schoolhouses spaced for local farm families, including Hughes Sch, Rosebud Sch, and the Four Corners Sch. The map also captures several educational landmarks already falling out of use, specifically the Deiter Sch and Prairie View Sch. Transport in the northern portion of the quadrangle is anchored by the Chicago and North Western railroad corridor. Notable local landmarks for genealogists include the Guttenberg Cem and several Flowing Wells that tap into the regional aquifer near the riverbanks.
